On Piety! Al-Imam Al-Shafeei رحمه الله

Yesterday I attended a function at UBC titled "Twins of Faith; Knowledge and Actions" organized by Al-Kawthar Institute

It was excellent and inspiring event!

One of the things I heard yesterday and I was amused by it a statement for Al-Imam Al-Shafeei Rahemahu Allah. He said

"We drank Zamzam for the knowledge so we learned. and if we were to drink for Taqwa it would've been better for us" ... شربنا ماء زمزم للعلم فتعلمنا ولو شربناه للتقوى لكان خيرا لنا ...

Rasullallah sallallahu Alaihi wassallam told us in an authentic narration that the water of Zamzam is blessed and it is for whatever you intended. meaning when you drink it, whatever you intend and supplicate with while drinking it, you will have it answered.

Subhana Allah, this statement of Al-Imam Al-Shafeei (May Allah have Mercy on him) shows the significance of having piety. What is the beneft of having knowledge if this knowledge won't make us more God-fearing and closer to Allah Almighty.

O Allah! Forgive us our sins and make us among almuttaqeen ya Rabba Alaalameen
