THE ZAKAAT OF KNOWLEDGE
Admonishing an Aalim, Hadhrat Ali Khawwaas (rahmatullah alayh) said: “O my Friend! Consider Amr Bil Ma’roof Nahy Anil Munkar (commanding righteousness and prohibiting evil) to be incumbent on you. This is the Zakaat of Ilm (Knowledge of the Deen). Allah Ta’ala revealed to Nabi Dawood (alayhis salaam): “When the Ulama abandon Amr Bil Ma’roof Nahy Anil Munkar, their awe will vanish from the hearts of the people. Then people of low morals will become fearsome. Those who remain aloof from people and remain silent about the faults of others are fortunate. Most fortunate is the one who leaves the warmth of his bed during the cold nights and communes with Me while all others are wrapped in their blankets. Most fortunate are they who honour Me and refrain from gazing at ghair mahaareem because they fear Me.
