In this session, the speaker delves into the virtues of seeking and teaching Islamic knowledge, emphasizing the immense value of scholars and students of knowledge. The speaker discusses a hadith comparing the alim (knowledgeable person) to the abid (worshipper), noting that the scholar’s virtue comes from their ability to reflect knowledge, much like the moon reflects the light of the sun. Angels humble themselves to students of knowledge, attending their gatherings and bringing mercy and tranquility. The pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong journey filled with challenges, but those who persevere are rewarded by Allah with an easier path to Paradise. Teaching others, even the smallest piece of knowledge, carries immense reward, with all of creation—including angels and animals—praying for the teacher’s forgiveness. The session emphasizes the importance of continuously seeking, practicing, and sharing knowledge as part of a believer’s duty.
