Hadith: Whoever Allah wills to do good to, He makes him comprehend the religion
عن معاوية بن أبي سفيان رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «من يُرِدِ الله به خيرا يُفَقِّهْهُ في الدين».
[صحيح] - [متفق عليه]
المزيــد ...
Mu‘āwiyah ibn Abi Sufyān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever Allah wills to do good to, He makes him comprehend the religion."
Sahih/Authentic. - [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
The person whom Allah wills to benefit and do good to, He makes him knowledgeable and insightful about the rulings of Shariah.
Benefits from the Hadith
- The Hadīth indicates the great merit of acquiring good understanding of the religion (Fiqh), and encourages it.
- Fiqh could be used to refer to knowledge of the detailed Shariah rulings from their detailed evidences, or to refer to knowledge about the religion of Allah in general: like the fundamentals of Imān, the ordinances of Islam, the reality of Ihsān and knowing what is lawful and what is unlawful.
- It is also deduced from the Hadīth that the one who turns away from seeking a good understanding of the religion is someone Allah Almighty has not willed good for.
- Whoever is keen on learning religious knowledge, Allah loves him since He willed good for him by guiding him to learn about his religion and have good understanding of it.
- Having a good understanding of the religion is praiseworthy, whereas having a good understanding of something else is neither praiseworthy nor blameworthy. Yet it is praiseworthy if it is a means to a praiseworthy outcome, and blameworthy if it is a means to a blameworthy outcome.
