Question:
We begin, O Shaykh, with the interpretation of the verse in Surat Maryam, in the saying of the Truth—Blessed and Exalted is He—I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan: (And Allah increases in guidance those who are already guided, and the deeds that remain good are best in reward with your Lord and best in return)?
Answer:
Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. His saying, Exalted is He: (And Allah increases in guidance those who are already guided) contains evidence that whoever seeks the Truth, desires it, and turns to it, Allah will guide him, grant him success, and place blessing in his knowledge. As for whoever turns away from the Truth, Allah—Exalted and Majestic is He—deprives him; He deprives him of knowing the Truth and accepting it. Even if he knows it, He deprives him of accepting it. In this is the obligation for the student of knowledge to be sincere in his intention, so that his purpose and aim in seeking knowledge is the Face of Allah. He should also intend to act upon the knowledge, not merely seek knowledge without action; for this is only an argument against its possessor on the Day of Resurrection. This verse indicates that the recompense is of the same kind as the deed. The one who is guided, submits to the Truth, accepts it, and desires it, Allah increases him in knowledge, understanding, and insight in his religion. In this is the obligation for students of knowledge to be sincere in their seeking of knowledge, to aim for the Face of Allah with it, to act upon it, and to be guided by His guidance. Their aim should not be showing off, seeking fame, loving to appear, or seeking the worldly life. This applies to religious knowledge. As for worldly knowledge, knowledge of crafts, engineering, and the like, that is sought for the worldly life and for the sake of the worldly life. But religious knowledge is that which is sought for the Face of
