(KNOWLEDGE & REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH TA’ALA)
In order to benefit directly from Allah Ta’ala by
fulfilling His commandments, in the manner prescribed by Rasulullah Sallallau ‘alaihi wasallam, to acquire the knowledge
revealed by Allah Ta’ala, that is to precisely ascertain what Allah Ta’ala
wants of me, in each and every situation.

‘Ilm & Dhikr 001
Abu Musa Radiyallahu ‘anhu narrates that Nabi
Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “The guidance and knowledge with which Allah sent
me is like abundant rain that falls on land (which has three different
terrains). A part of the land was fertile; it absorbed the water, and sprouted
lush plantation and pasture. Another part was barren, it held up the water, and
Allah made it beneficial for people who drank from it, and gave (cattle) to
drink from it, and irrigated from it. The rain fell on the third part which was
a hard plain; it neither held the water nor sprouted grass. (Likewise there are
three types of persons).
For example: The one who acquires understanding
of Deen of Allah, and benefits from what Allah has sent me with, and he learns,
and teaches; (and the other who did not benefit himself but others were
benefited through him): and the third, who does not show regard to that and
does not accept Allah’s guidance with which I have been sent.” (Bukhari)
