Duties of the seekers of knowledge

SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from the prophet of Islam (PBUH) who said: Whoever acquires knowledge to argue or quarrel with unwise people, or to boast or glorify himself in front of other scholars, or seek people’s attention in order to gain (false) respect for himself, muse choose his place in the hellfire. Indeed, the leadership position is not suitable for anyone except for God, pious and the chosen ones.

The one who fills a position which has not been allocated to him by God, is cursed by God and the Supreme Being consider him as an enemy. And the one who calls (invites) people to himself but is unsuitable to take over the leadership and says: I am your leader, Allah (SWT) will not have mercy on him unless he abandons that way and repents from his unjustifiable claim [1].
