بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the name of God the Most Gracious the Most Merciful.
The Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said, "Be a scholar, be a student of knowledge, be the helper of the two or be a lover of those (people).
Some of the most beautiful human being in life I've ever met and this is a true story. I was in Western Africa, it was a very dark night. Our car get stuck in mud in the middle of the Sahara, literally, and we walk away and we found someone who was a sheep herder and illiterate. He was the only person out there with his goat and sheep. He was so happy to see us. He went and slaughter the goat, he fed us, it was an extremely windy night with a lot of rain.
When we woke up, he had stay the whole night holding the center piece of the tent to make sure that it didn't collapse on us. That was his hospitality 'cause we were his guest and..
The Prophet said, "Who ever believe in god and the last day, let him honor the guest."
and that was.. somebody was there with me and we couldn't believe it. This man actually deprive himself asleep in order to ensure that we slept.
Some of the best people that I've met in this world have been illiterate, simple believers and that the truth and I have absolutely no contempt for those people at all. What I see is that some people are facilitated to learn, the circumstances are right for them to learn and other people are deprived of that.
The people that do have the gift of learning should actively being engaged and tried to spread that gift to other people because learning in the true sense of the word, not learning for a degree, not learning to become somebody of stature or somebody of wealth but learning really for the sake of God in our tradition, and..
The Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said, "One of the sign of the latter day is that people go to learn for other than the sake of god."
