‘To do’ is ‘to know’:
It’s hightime that our obsession in marrying knowledge with a degree was addressed and resolved.
No one can deny that specialising in a specific area of interest should be possible but to attach a stamp of Knowledge to every degree holder and to make them the judges of what should be known and what knowledge is!
That! Is something which is very problematic!
The whole seerah/ life of our Prophet redefined what knowledge is for us. The prophet ( Saw) was not an Alim, not a poet, not a writer nor a specialist in any specific area of knowledge. He was a messenger of divine Knowledge.
The source, the base!
He did what he was taught!
He was illiterate yet when told by Gabriel to “iqra”.
He read!(verb;recited)
“ the revelation suddenly came to him while he was in the cave of Hira'. The angel came to him while he was in the cave and said, "Read!'' The Messenger of Allah said, (I replied: "I am not one who reads.) Then he said, "So he (the angel) seized me and pressed me until I could no longer bear it. Then he released me and said: `Read!' So I replied: I am not one who reads.' So, he pressed me a second time until I could no longer bear it. Then he released me and said:
(Read in the Name of your Lord who has created.) until he reached the Ayah, (That which he knew not.)”
To know is not to learn or to acquire !
‘To do’ is ‘to know’
Pure action!
The path to knowledge begins with surrender!
