[“They Say I am Reserved” An Advice on Self-Respect & Preserving the Dignity of Islamic Knowledge]
Many of us grow up in places where teachers and scholars are not respected. Instead of being honored, they are dismissed, undermined, unsupported, or even attacked and mocked. There is nothing new about any of that.
The Qāḍī ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Jurjānī, was criticized for keeping his distance from people. But his “distance” was not arrogance or antisocial withdrawal—it was self-respect. He refused to lower himself for worldly gains, to flatter potential benefactors, or to use sacred knowledge as a tool to win favor. He famously composed the following poetry:
يَقُولُونَ لِي فِيكَ انْقِبَاضٌ وَإِنَّمَا … رَأَوْا رَجُلًا عَنْ مَوْقِفِ الذُّلِّ أَحْجَمَا
“They say I am reserved—yet all they have seen is a man who recoils away from dishonor.
أَرَى النَّاسَ مَنْ دَانَاهُمْ هَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ … وَمَنْ أَكْرَمَتْهُ عِزَّةُ النَّفْسِ أُكْرِمَا
I see that whoever gets too close to people is devalued by them, but he who is ennobled by self-dignity is honored.
وَلَمْ أَقْضِ حَقَّ الْعِلْمِ إِنْ كَانَ كُلَّمَا … بَدَا طَمَعٌ صَيَّرْتُهُ لِي سُلَّمَا
I would not fulfill the right of knowledge if every opportunity for a favor that arose, I turned into a ladder for myself.
وَمَا كُلُّ بَرْقٍ لَاحَ لِي يَسْتَفِزُّنِي … وَلَا كُلُّ مَنْ لَاقَيْتُ أَرْضَاهُ مُنْعِمَا
Not every flash of lightning stirs me to chase it, nor do I flatter every man I meet as a potential benefactor.
إذَا قِيلَ هَذَا مَنْهَلٌ قُلْتُ قَدْ أَرَى … وَلَكِنَّ نَفْسَ الْحُرِّ تَحْتَمِلُ الظَّمَا
If they say, “Here is a spring to drink from,” I answer, “I see it— But the soul of the free endures thirst with patience.”
انْهَهَا عَنْ بَعْضِ مَا لَا يَشِينُهَا … مَخَافَةَ أَقْوَالِ الْعِدَا فِيمَ أَوْ لِمَا
I restrain it from things that wouldn’t even dishonor it, lest my enemies ask in scorn, “Why this, and why that?”
وَلَمْ أَبْتَذِلْ فِي خِدْمَةِ الْعِلْمِ مُهْجَتِي … لِأَخْدُمَ مَنْ لَاقَيْتُ لَكِنْ لِأُخْدَمَا
I did not exhaust myself in the service of knowledge to serve everyone I meet, but so that I might be served in return.
أَأَشْقَى بِهِ غَرْسًا وَأَجْنِيهِ ذِلَّةً … إِذًا فَاتِّبَاعُ الْجَهْلِ قَدْ كَانَ أَحْزَمَا
Shall I toil to plant it, only to reap humiliation? If so, then seeking ignorance would have been the wiser course of action.
وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ صَانُوهُ صَانَهُمْ … وَلَوْ عَظَّمُوهُ فِي النُّفُوسِ لَعُظِّمَا
Had the people of knowledge preserved its dignity, it would have preserved them; Had they magnified it in their souls, it would have been magnified.
وَلَكِنْ أَهَانُوهُ فَهَانَ وَدَنَّسُوا … مُحَيَّاهُ بِالْأَطْمَاعِ حَتَّى تَجَهَّمَا
But they debased it, so it was debased, and stained its countenance with greedy expectations until it grew ugly.”
This is how we rebuild a culture of respect for teachers and scholars: by starting with our personal attitudes on its preciousness, holding learning as sacred, and refusing to let it be debased.
Knowledge is not a cheap commodity: Do not bow for crumbs or flatter those those with influence. Learning is a crown, not a begging bowl. Don’t feed the egos of self-appointed gatekeepers; flatten delusional hierarchies.
Respect begins with yourself: If you treat what you know as cheap, others will follow suit and devalue knowledge. Carry what you know with dignity, and people will honor you because of it.
Walk away from humiliation: Better to die on your feet than live on your knees. Better to remain obscure and even mediocre than to treat knowledge in a way that drags you into pandering for money or status. Not everyone who wears an honorific title protects its sanctity.
The easy road—compromise, flattery, cheap rewards—only makes you small. The harder road of self-respect builds strength that no one can strip from you.
Learning should elevate, not humiliate you:
The purpose is to honor you, not to belittle you. Knowledge is meant to free you, not chain you.

REFRAINING FROM HARMING OTHERS 🍃
A man who transgresses against others, taking their property, deceiving them, betraying them, hitting them or attacking them physically, insulting them, or back-biting them, is not a person of good character in how he deals with the people. This is because he has not refrained from harming them. Furthermore, this sin is magnified whenever it affects those who have more rights over him than others.

The second question of Fatwa no. 19282
Q 2: We have a mosque (in our neighborhood) but without an Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) or reciter of the Qur'an. Is it permissible to listen to the Qur'an and the Khutbah (sermon) from the radio and offer the (Jumu’ah) Prayer after that?
A 2: Among the conditions of the validity of the Jumu’ah (Friday) Prayer is to be preceded by two Khutbahs. They should be delivered orally and it is insufficient to listen to them from a cassette player. As for the reciter, the Imam is enough if he recites the Qur'an properly in the Prayer.
May Allah grant us success, May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

✍-The person who doesn't have good character is going to live a miserable life. Because knowing the fruits of a thing, and the benefits of a thing, and the beautiful outcomes of a thing, is from the greatest of causes to push you to doing those things, and working for those things, and developing those things.
-No matter how difficult things get, and no matter how severe a situation may be, when he contemplates over the benefits of having good character and how this will cause the outcome to be most positive, and then when he sees that the situation is trying to push him off of his square, when he sees that the bitterness of the situation is trying to push him to having the opposite of good character then he finds that it is easy for him to stay on his square, to stay composed to solve the problem.
And he finds that he seeks the reward of Allāh in doing so...

No matter how many posting you share on Unity & claim to be united people will not accept your Da'wah unless you stop arguing with your Salafi brothers in the matters of ijtihad.
You must be forgiving, Forbearing, you must have love, respect good thoughts about your brothers and sisters if you really want to be united.
& you must correct your brothers & and sisters directly in private if their mistakes are private. Not by posting long winded speech on the social media to get likes and shares.
Don't make this pure Da'wah to look ugly with your negative attitude towards your Salafi brothers & sisters.
Many people want to be associated with the community but they are afraid to get connected by seeing fightings in the name of the religion.
