الشيخ محمد هشام طاهري Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Al-Tahiri ------------------------------------------------ تصوّر معي؛ يعني ما قال له: ربي زدني مالًا وبنينًا وصحبًا.. Imagine with me; that He (Allah) did not say to him (i.e. the Prophet, peace be upon him): My lord, increase me in money, children, and companions.   ربي زدني علمًا، شيء عجيب سبحان الله! “My Lord, increase me in knowledge”. It is an astonishing thing. Glory is to Allah!   لهذا قال بعض العُلماء: ما تقرّب أحد إلى الله بمثل العلم. Therefore, some of the (Islamic) scholars said: There is nothing which brings you closer to Allah like Ilm (Islamic knowledge).  إبليس أوّل ما يزلّ الناس يزلّهم بالجهل، طيب وإذا علموا كيف يزلّهم؟! The first thing that Iblis (Satan) leads people astray with is ignorance. So, how can he deceive them, if they have Ilm (Islamic knowledge)?   بإشغالهم عنه، وإغفالهم عنه، وانسائهم إيّاه ﴿فَنَسِيَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْمًا﴾[طه:115] شفتوا كيف!  By distracting them from it, making them unaware of it, and making them forget it (but he forgot; and We found not in him determination) [Surah Ṭā ḥā: 115] You see? ولهذا قال بعض العُلماء في قوله تعالى: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَائِفٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ تَذَكَّرُوا فَإِذَا هُمْ مُبْصِرُونَ﴾[الأعراف:201]. Therefore, some scholars commented on what Allah said “Indeed, those who fear Allah – when an impulse touches them from Satan, they remember [Him] and at once they have insight.” [Surah Al-A'raf: 201] ﴿مُبْصِرُونَ﴾ أي: مُدّركون لعلمهم، فيعملون وفقه ويتوبوا. {Mubsiroon} meaning, realizing their Ilm, so they work according to it, and they repent.
