العلم والعمل

الْعَلِيمُ

Al-‘Alīm The All-Knowing

وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ ۚ

(O man), follow not that whereof thou hast no knowledge. Lo! the hearing and the sight and the heart - of each of these it will be asked

Surah Al-Isrāʾ (17:36)

النية

Today, I will act on one thing I know but have been neglecting, one Name I learned but have not embodied.

تأمّل

Al-ʿAlīm integrated: knowledge without action is arrogance. After four cycles, you know more about the Names than you did at the start. But knowledge that does not change behaviour is not knowledge: it is information. The integration of Al-ʿAlīm is acting on what you know. Every Name you have learned demands a response in your life.

في هذه الآية

You will be questioned about your hearing, your sight, your heart, all the tools of knowledge.

دعاء

Knowledge, provision, and deeds: the daily trifecta. After Fajr, every morning.

حديث

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'The feet of the son of Adam will not move on the Day of Resurrection until he is asked about his knowledge — what he did with it.'
