"Please give us some advices, for us
learning worldly knowledge."
Worldly knowledge, by nature,
does not give us reward.
Unlike knowledge about religion.
All knowledge praised by Allah in the Quran
is one that gives us fear of Allah.
That is about religion.
Allah praises the scholars
who learn about religion.
The ones whom Allah praises with angels
as witnesses are the scholars.
Knowledge about the world,
is about the world.
This worldly matter...
... may give us reward
when it is intended for Allah.
All knowledge about the world ...
... when it is intended for Allah,
it is valuable for Allah.
For example, a doctor.
If he has the intention,
"When I become a doctorr...
... for example, 25% of my patients
will be treated free of charge."
Allah Willing, he will be rewarded.
"For example, 50% of my patients,
I will..."
"Or I will ask for less charge."
"If it is too expensive with other doctors,
I will make it cheap.".
I have a friend like that.
He does not charge a lot.
Hundreds or even more are in line
to be treated by him.
Because he does not want to charge a lot.
Thus, if we learn about worldly matter...
... we intend it for Allah SWT
to help Islam.
Or, "To have a job."
"To get married, to keep his honor."
That is also a good intention.
"I want to go to college
because I have to get a job."
"One of the means to get a job
is by pursuing my studies in a college."
"After I find a job, I want to get married.
to have children."
"I want to provide education for my children,
and everything needs money."
If he studies with this intention
in mind...
Not just to have material.
He extends his intention.
"When I succeed, I want to devote myself
for my parents, give them presents.
Allah Willing, Allah will see his pursuit
of studying as something valuable.
Wallahu'alam bishawab.
