Abdul Hakim Leeches Knowledge From The Ulama

Posted on June 17, 2010 with No Comments

Assalamu Alaykum,

All praise is to Allah Ta’ala and may peace and blessings be upon our master, Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa salam.

My name is Abdul Hakim (changed). During the day I study Law at university but during the evenings I study in Jamia Siraj ul Uloom. I am currently in Mishkat and in the second year of my degree.

Jamia Siraj ul Uloom is a perfect place for students to come and acquire knowledge of deen. Deen does not consist of just learning knowledge but it also consists of bettering our characteristics.

This is echoed by our principal and respected ustad Hazrat Maulana ***** Sahib (DB) when he reminds us, “You are fooling yourself if you think that you will find everything in books.”

The reality is that knowledge is kept within books but its practicality is shown and embodied in the Ulama. Students who are searching for knowledge must obviously first study books. They then need the practice of that knowledge found in their teachers and as a result, they will then understand how to rectify themselves. Alhamdulillah, such qualities are seen in the teachers of Jamia Siraj ul Uloom.

My respected peers and beloved brothers in deen have highlighted the other virtues. May Allah Ta’ala grant them all acceptance, increase them in their knowledge and actions and count us all from the righteous. Ameen.
