Pearl of Wisdom

from Asma' bint Yazid al-Ansari that she went to the Prophet (SAWA) whilst he was with his companions, and said, may my mother and father be ransomed for you! I come to you representing women, and know may my soul be sacrificed for you that there is no woman that exists in the east or the west who does not agree with me if she was to hear of my visit to you. Allah sent you with the truth to men and women, so we believed in you and in your God who sent you. We women are restricted and limited, confined to your [men's] houses, fulfillers of your desires, bearers of your children, and you men are superior to us because of the Friday and congregational prayers, visiting the sick, participating in burials, pilgrimage after pilgrimage, and better than all that, fighting (jihad) in the path of Allah. When a man from among you goes for the obligatory or voluntary pilgrimage, or is stationed away from home, we protect your property for you, sew your clothes, bring up your children, so what do we share with The Prophet (SAWA) turned his whole face to his companions and said, 'Have you ever heard a woman speaking better than she has in her asking about her religion?' They said, ?O Messenger of Allah, we did not think that a woman could be so guided like this!' The Prophet (SAWA) then turned towards her and said, 'Leave, O woman, and inform the women after you that for one of you to be a good spouse to her husband, her seeking his satisfaction and her following of what he approves is equivalent to all that you mentioned.' So the woman left, saying: 'There is no god but Allah (la ilaha illallah) and aggrandizing Allah (Allahu Akbar) with happiness.'

Subject: Hadith tafsir please
Question: I want to ask that our beloved Prophet Mohammad saws said Attain knowledge even if u have to go to china for gaining knowledge Imam Ali a.s. also said Attain Knowledge does all this hadees is only for islamic knowledge or for even worldly knowledge?
Answer: The Holy Quran speaks about knowledge a number of times. ie
"Say, 'Are those who know equal to those who do not know?' Only those who possess intellect take admonition." (39:9)
and
"Allah will raise those ofyou who have faith and those who have been given knowledge in rank, and Allah is well aware of what you do." (58:11)

The Holy Prophet has said "The quest for knowledge is incumbent upon every Muslim... by virtue of it the Lord is obeyed and worshiped, consanguinal relations are maintained, and the lawful is distinguished from the prohibited. Knowledge leads to action and action follows it. The fortunate ones are inspired by it whereas the wretched ones are deeoprnived of it."

Hence Islam encourages gaining any useful knowledge.
