Khashiyat And Knowledge

Knowledge bereft of fear (Khashiyat) and humility is not true Ilm. Ilm is the legacy / inheritance of the Ambiya. Surely the Ilm of the Ambiya was not restricted to textual knowledge of the rules and regulations while bereft of fear and humility. By the Ambiya, Taqwa would increase with the increase in knowledge. The acquisition and imparting of knowledge are not the primary objectives. To believe that these are the objectives is to transgress the limits. (Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi)
