ONE OF THE DUTIES OF MUSLIMS: LEARNING KHAIRFUL ILM (BENEFICIAL KNOWLEDGE)

“…and say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.” (Surah Ta-Ha, 114)

Abu Qatadah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him. (Sunan Ibn Mājah 237)

Every Muslim is responsible from learning Khairful Ilm. Besides this responsibility, living in the 21th century, the opportunities to reach and learn knowledge has increased exponentially. Muslims are also responsible from sharing this knowledge that they have learned which is called “Tabligh”. Our role model in this mission has to be the most perfect human Rasoolallah Muhammad Mustafa (SAW). Therefore, everyone is obliged to share the benefitial knowledge with the others.

Moreover, maintaining Halal and Tayyib nutrition is an order of Allah (SWT) [please see Surah al-Baqarah, 168]. Keeping our responsibility of learning and sharing in mind, we also have to share our knowledge about Halal and Tayyib nutrition. Especially HCBs have a great responsibility on sharing true knowledge about Halal and Tayyib to all Muslim brothers and sisters.

Being one of these HCBs, GIMDES has been trying to reach every Muslim person to relay the Ilm of Halal and Tayyib. In order to achieve this purpose, GIMDES has been organizing various events, seminers, conferences, trainings for children/youth/adults. As Muslims, we should attend these organizations to increase our knowledge and share it with others as well as obey to the orders of Allah (SWT).
