Islamic knowledge increases with ambition. In the past, there were benefits and the people were keen, but the scholars disappear and die, so who remains? Who remains for the Muslim nation? Who remains for the people, who remains for the Muslims? Who bears this trust? Who will carry the Book (of Allah) and the Sunnah? Who will carry Islamic law? Who will deliver this knowledge? Who will preserve for the Prophet ﷺ his knowledge in his nation? You. If the people of knowledge and the students of knowledge do not preserve it, and aren't serious in doing so, then who will preserve it? No doubt, it will go. That is why we fear a time when the Prophet's ﷺ prophecy comes true: Indeed, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people's chests, but He takes it away by taking away the scholars, Until when there are no scholars left, people will take ignorant leaders. (Hadith) How? Taking away the scholars, meaning their dead. The scholars will break off, meaning the students of knowledge break off too. Then the people will take ignorant leaders. They will be asked and will issue Islamic rulings (fatwa) without knowledge, Going astray and misguiding others. This is a difficult problem, very difficult. Each of you finds comfort in himself of guidance and strength, so the best thing in the way of Allah today is knowledge. The greatest type of Jihad (struggling in the way of Allah) today that the Muslim nation needs is the Jihad of knowledge. To learn, memorize, understand and strengthen yourself in this aspect, if you have strength and ability to do so. So that you can benefit the Muslim nation. Who does the Muslim nation need today? They need scholars who nurture them, Who lead the Muslim nation to goodness, and explain the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ.
