Pearl of Wisdom

'The right of your subjects through the knowledge you possess is to know that Allah has made you a custodian over them on account of the knowledge He has bestowed on you and the storehouses [of wisdom] which He has opened up for you. If you teach people well, and do not mistreat them, and do not get bored of [teaching] them, then Allah will increase His grace upon you. But if you withhold your knowledge from people or treat them harshly when they seek knowledge from you, then it will be Allah's right to deprive you of knowledge and its magnificence, and to make you fall from your place in the people's hearts.'

Imam Ali ibn Hussain Zayn al-'Abidin [as]
'Awalial-La'ali, v. 4, p. 74, no. 54

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.
