The last blog was discussing a Hadith found in Imam Munzari’s, Awareness and Apprehension, number 2556, and those given glad tidings.
The next characteristic mentioned in this Hadith is to avoid the mischief of evil people. This means they fulfill the important duty of helping others in good things and refuse to aid them in bad things irrespective of who is taking part or organizing the thing. Chapter 5 Al Ma’idah, verse 2:
“…And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression…”
Unfortunately, many muslims fail in this important duty by choosing to help or not to help others depending on who is doing something instead of observing what they are doing. This has even affected scholars and Islamic institutions that only support those they have a relationship with. This must change if muslims desire to regain the social strength and influence the righteous predecessors possessed as they always fulfilled this duty irrespective, of the people organizing or leading the good thing.
The final thing mentioned in the main Hadith under discussion is that the fortunate person is the one who acts according to their knowledge. This is important to do as ignoring one’s knowledge and acting contrary to it is a sign of great ignorance. This type of knowledge is not beneficial at all. In fact, it will only testify against a person on Judgment Day. Knowledge is only useful when it is correctly acted on just like a map only leads to the desired destination when it is used. Failing to act on knowledge will not take one down the path to Paradise it will only leave them in darkness confused and lost.
