Sitting With The Pious Scholars

There was a time when people would spend most of their days and nights sitting with the ulemaa e kiraam and mashaaikh e kiraam.

Then slowly by slowly people became busy and would visit the ulema on a daily basis, weekly basis, monthly basis.

We then became so busy in our worldly affairs that this visit became an annual visit.

Times changed again and social media whattsapp etc took over our lives.

We are in a state now where even if an Alim e Deen messages us we do not have the time to read or reply.

Our problems are increasing yet our connection with Ilm and our relationship with the Ulema is decreasing if not non existent .

The benefit of keeping sohbat and connection with the Ulema is immense.

*Seven benefits for one who sits in the company of Ulama*



Faqih Imam Abul-Laith Samarqandi RadiAllahu ánhu states that there are seven benefits for one who sits in the company of Ulama even though one does not understand the lectures:

1. As long as one remains in the company of the Ulama, one will be free from sins and disobedience

2. One will be classed as a student of Deen

3. One will receive the blessings of seeking knowledge for the period one sits in their company

4. One will enjoy the Mercy of Allah Almighty that will shower the gathering

5. As long as one hears knowledgeable things, one will get blessings for it

6. There are times when one hears intricate discussions of the Ulama and does not understand them. If one becomes sad due to one’s ignorance, then this sincere sadness is also a virtue

7. One will develop the distinction between the virtue of the Ulama and their knowledge and the evil of ignorance and its destruction

May Allah Almighty grant us the Towfeeq to keep connection with our Ulema e kiraam
Ameen Thumma Aameen.
