KNOWLEDGE or WEALTH ?




A 15 years old sister compare between knowledge and wealth.
  • KNOWLEDGE guards you while you guard WEALTH.
  • KNOWLEDGE is increased when distributed while WEALTH is decreased when given to others.
  • A LITTERATE person may be poor but cannot be fooled but a WEALTHY person may be uneducated and can easily be deceived by anybody.
  • KNOWLEDGE is a gift from Allah and is inherited His by Apostles while WEALTH is inherited by Pharaoh(Firawn).
  • KNOWLEDGE increases one's faith in the oneness of Allah (Tawheed) while WEALTH deviates a person from the teaching of the Holy Quran, ahkam (injuntions) of Allah, the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the Shari'a (Islamic Law).
  • KNOWLEDGE makes a person modest while WEALTH makes a person arrogant.
  • The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) lived in misery but was a very INTELLIGENT person that's why he has earned the title of the Greatest Leader of Mankind while his the persecutors lived in OPULENCE but was ignorant that's the reason for which they were known as "Jahil".
  • We can conclude by saying that it is better to live a humble life but being EDUCATED rather than living a life of LAVISHNESS but being unschooled.
    • May Allah show us the right path.Ameen.

    {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125)

    {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

    The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

    The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." [Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
