Egyptian Islamic scholar Ramadan Abdelmuez has emphasized that awareness is the real battle for nations. In a recent episode of the program "L'aallum Yahfahoum" aired on DMC channel, Abdelmuez highlighted the importance of knowledge and awareness. He stated that people of knowledge are the ones who deserve honor and dignity as they have achieved the greatest commandment given by the Prophet in the Holy Quran, which is seeking more knowledge.
Abdelmuez pointed out that people of knowledge are guides and leaders who direct people to the right path. He added that a person's value is measured by their knowledge and good deeds. The scholar also noted that ignorant people often stand in opposition to people of knowledge. Abdelmuez called on people to acquire knowledge, describing it as the reason for real life. He differentiated between two types of people: those who are alive with knowledge and those who are dead, even if they are physically alive.
The Islamic scholar cited a Hadith of the Prophet, which states that when a person dies, their deeds are cut off except for three things: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them. Abdelmuez mentioned that a knowledgeable person is forgiven by all creatures in the heavens and earth, including fish in the water. He emphasized that knowledge is a great blessing but can also be a proof against its owner if not applied.
Abdelmuez highlighted that knowledge is a double-edged sword, just like the Holy Quran, which raises some people and brings others down. He referenced a Quranic verse that says the Quran is a cure and mercy for believers but only adds to the loss of wrongdoers. The scholar stressed that knowledge and awareness are interconnected and not just about listening or memorizing but also understanding, contemplation, and application.
Abdelmuez emphasized that faith in Islam is linked to good deeds and that the real crisis facing nations today is the absence of awareness, despite the availability of knowledge. He noted that people are divided into two categories: those who are alive with knowledge and those who are dead. The scholar cited examples of people who died centuries ago but remain alive through their beneficial knowledge.
The scholar referenced a Quranic verse that commands believers to seek more knowledge. He stated that people of knowledge are the ones who truly deserve honor and dignity. Abdelmuez called on people to acquire knowledge and apply it in their lives. He emphasized that knowledge is a form of ongoing charity that benefits not only the individual but also others.
Abdelmuez concluded that awareness is essential for nations to progress and that it is the responsibility of individuals to seek knowledge and apply it in their lives. He emphasized that knowledge and awareness are key to achieving true success and that they are essential for building a better future.
