ADAB IN SEEKING KNOWLEDGE

What I get from the video by Mufti Menk (Seeking Knowledge)

When its come to knowledge, dont just make a doa so that you can be smarter. What you should do is find the knowledge. Nowadays, we have so many way to learn something. For example, when you want to know news about covid-19, you just need to use your search engine like google. Its not that hard, what make the knowledge hard to learn is yourself. So everything is depend on yourself.

Advantages, rewards in this world and the hereafter.

PATIENT

patient=fasting
--> refrain
وَالصَّوْمُ نِصْفُ الصَّبْرِ

Hadith Al- Tirmizi: fasting is half of patience.
people who fast patiently = people who are pious(bertaqwa) which is follow Allah's command.

Al-Iman Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali:
3 types of patience:
1) patient in obeying Allah- the obligation to fast
2) patient from doing things that Allah forbids- things that are forbidden during fasting such as appetite, backbiting.
3) patient of all calamities(disaster) that come- calamities such as hunger, thirst, weak body
#All three of these patiences are present during fasting.

وقال مجاهد : الصبر : الصوم ، والصوم : صبر ، لأنه إمساك عن الطعام ، وسمي رمضان : شهر الصبر

"Imam Mujahid said: 'Patience is fasting, and fasting is patience, because fasting means abstaining from eating and drinking.
(So, importantly) the month of Ramadan is called the month of patience".

TAKRIM

Glorify/respect
Ramadhan as a glorious month(lailatul qadr night).

stay away from bad things.

for example; even if you can't fast (sick / period), we need to respect other people who fast by not eating in front of him->So that no slander arises.

People who fast also need to respect people who do not fast.

RAHMAH

donations, to feed the poor, zakat fitrah (obligatory), taste what the poor taste.

Hadith Al-Baihaqi; Rasulullah said:

1. At the beginning of Ramadan, God saw my people. Whoever is seen by God, then he will not be tormented forever.

2. The smell of the mouth of a fasting person, in the sight of Allah is better than the smell of mystical oil (musk).

3. Angels beg forgiveness for my people, day and night.

4. God instructs the guardians of heaven to decorate heaven for those who fast.

5. At the end of the night of Ramadan Allah forgives all their sins.

# data[].attributes.body
ZAKAH

=holy, clean, blessing.
obligatory for people who meet the condition.
in the quran, Allah also uses the terms alms and infaq to express zakat.

5 categories of property zakat:

1. Gold zakat

2. Silver zakat

3. Business zakat

4. Livestock zakat

5. Agricultural zakat

TAWAKKUL

Tawakkul: surrender to Allah
Sure/confident that God replaces the property we sacrifice with something better.

Convinced/confident that sustenance is determined by Allah.
The actual amount of our property is the quantity we give/donate to others. The rest of our property is useless in the hereafter.

THE WISDOM OF ZAKAT: UKHUWAH

helping fellow human beings can strengthen human brotherhood/ukhuwah.

through zakat, people who can afford it can help people who are less able by giving money/food/clothes and so on.

Especially can help fellow Muslims. It is the responsibility of Muslims to help fellow Muslims.

Zakat will erase the envy and the gap between the rich and the poor. Example of envy: The poor will feel jealous because they are not endowed with sustenance like the rich. The rich will think that the poor are lazy.
