"And there are amongst them, the unlettered ones who do not know the Book, but vain desires." (2 :71)
The Holy Qur'an says:
"The likeness of those who are
entrusted with the Law of Moses, yet apply it not, is as the likeness of the
ass carrying books." (62: 5)
Abu Darda' (Allah be pleased with him)
reported that we were in the company of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him). He (the Holy Prophet) looked towards the sky and
mentioned a matter saying: "That will be at the time when knowledge
departs."
Ziad b. Labid Ansari (Allah be pleased
with him) asked, "How can knowledge part when we recite the Qur'an and
teach it to our children and they will teach it to their children up till the
Day of Resurrection?" He (the Holy Prophet) replied, "I am astonished
at you, Ziad.
I thought you were the most learned
man in Medina. Do not these Jews and Christians read the Torah and the Injil
(Bible) without knowing a thing about their contents?"" Tirmidhi
transmitted it, saying this is a hasan gharib hadith.
'Aisha (Allah be pleased with her)
reported that when the following Verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) :
"Lo! in the creation of the
heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which
run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah
sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and
dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds,
and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's
Sovereignty) for a people who have sense." (2:164)
He (the Holy Prophet) said: There is a
destruction for a person who recited this Verse but did not ponder over it. Ibn
Hibban transmitted it.
