Mahfudzot Class 2 KMI Gontor along with its meaning and explanation (Part 5)

الحَثُّ عَلَى التَّعَلُّمِ (٢)

Suggestions in studying 2

**************************

مَنْ لَمْ يَذُقْ ذُلَّ التَّعَلُّمِ سَاعَةً #  تَجَرَّعَ ذُلَّ الْجَهْلِ طُوْلَ حَيَاتـِهِ

Whoever has not felt the difficulty of studying for a moment

He will surely feel the lowness of stupidity for the rest of his life

وَمَنْ فَاتَهُ التَّعْلِيْمُ وَقْتَ شَبَابِهِ # فَكَبِّرْ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا لِوَفَاتـِهِ

Whoever neglects to seek knowledge in his youth

So take your takbir over him four times before his death.

حَيَاةُ الْفَتَى وَاللهِ بِالْعِلْمِ وَالتُّقَى #  إِذَا لَمْ يَكُوْنَا لَا اعْتِبَارَ لِذَاتـِهِ

A person's life - for the sake of Allah - is determined by knowledge and piety

If both of them are gone, then there is no longer any self-esteem.

Syarah / Explanation and Conclusion:

This Mahfuzhat is taken from the poetry / words of Imam Syafii in his Diwan. Imam Shafi'i said that people who in their youth never tasted the bitterness of seeking knowledge, will feel the difficulty of being a fool for the rest of their life. Such a person deserves to be 'tahirized 4 times'. The point is that such a person is actually like a dead person; live in body, but not in spirit.

Then he also said that because the dignity and worth of a human being lies in his knowledge and piety, then if both of them are no longer there, then that person can be proud of.
