The Excellence of Knowledge | بيان فضل على السلف على علم المخلف

Description

These are some brief words about the meaning of knowledge & its classification into that which is beneficial and that which is not; as well as a note regarding the excellence of the knowledge of the Salaf over that of the Khalaf.

The way & wisdom of the Salaf, all goodness lies in traversing the way of the Salaf, beneficial Knowledge with regards the ‘Inner Sciences’, the foundation of knowledge & many other branches of beneficial knowledge.

From the signs of beneficial knowledge is that one does not lay claim to having knowledge or become boastful of it. He does not accuse others of ignorance unless they oppose the Sunnah & its people, in which case he speaks against him out of anger for the sake of Allāh, not out of personal anger or the desire of gaining ascendancy over him.
