In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Say: Are those who know equal to those who do not know?
The splendor of knowledge among the wise
By Dr. Hamzah bin Faye Alif Taihi
May God protect him
The trade-off between knowledge and money
Ali bin Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, said
Knowledge is better than money
Because you guard money and knowledge guards you
And money is consumed by expenses
Knowledge is better than spending
Science is the ruler
And the money is doomed
The money tank died and they lived
And the scholars will remain for the rest of the world
Their eyes are missing
Their effects on hearts are present
Money tempts many people
And they are fascinated by it
This is the reason why groups of them turn away from knowledge
And their immersion in the world, collecting and seeking it
It is unfortunate
They believe in money, all glory and glory
They forgot the glories of science and its excellence
And his glory exceeds all wealth and adornment
Kings and the rich may request it
They wished they could join his family
Or they achieved a little of it
Perhaps, may God be pleased with him, he has good poetry
Pride is only for people of knowledge
On guidance for those who seek guidance
One of the reasons he prefers it over money
That you are guarding him
And knowledge protects you
Money is wasted on expense
Knowledge is blessed by spending
Knowledge is ruling and money is ruling
The people of money died while they were alive
No mention, no glory
And the scholars revived
Even if their eyes were gone
Science has immortalized them
And keep them in good memory
And look at the great scholars of Islam
And what their heritage includes
He wrote biographies about them and their exploits
You find wonder
Like the four jurists
Abu Hanifa and Malik
Al-Shafi’i and Ahmad
And the six imams
Like Al-Bukhari and Muslim
And a senior scholar
Such as Al-Nawawi, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Ibn Al-Qayyim
Those who filled our books and university theses with them
While the merchants of their times
Only a few of them are mentioned
The purpose of these differences
Force oneself to strive in it
And struggle in his request
Strive for it relentlessly and without procrastination
It has been demonstrated by sense, reality, and outcomes
Science is a luxury
And his magic is brilliant
Transcending all baggage and temptations
And say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.”
And peace
