The Importance of Learning Knowledge for Allah

SUMMARY: Learning knowledge for the sake of Allah and with the intention of pleasing Him is essential.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: that the Prophet said: "Whoever learns knowledge for other than (the sake of) Allah, or intends by it other than Allah, then let him take his seat in the Fire".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْهُنَائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السِّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ دُرَيْكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ عِلْمًا لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَرَادَ بِهِ غَيْرَ اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَيُّوبَ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of learning knowledge for the sake of Allah and with an intention to please Him. It warns us that if we learn knowledge for any other purpose, then we will be punished in Hellfire. We should always remember that our intentions should be pure when learning anything, as it is only through this way that we can gain true benefit from it. We must also strive to use our knowledge to help others and spread good in society, as this is what pleases Allah most.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that if we learn something without having a sincere intention or without seeking guidance from Allah, then it will not benefit us in any way and may even lead us astray. He warned us against using our knowledge to harm others or seek worldly gains instead of striving towards pleasing God Almighty. Therefore, it is important to keep our intentions pure when learning anything so that we can reap its full benefits both in this world and hereafter.
