Abul Hasan Ali An-Nadwi : Knowledge for the sake of knowledge, - TopicsExpress



          

Abul Hasan Ali An-Nadwi : Knowledge for the sake of knowledge, power for the sake of power and unity for the sake of unity are meaningless concepts. The conquest of the forces of nature and the triumph of man over matter are nothing but sport and vanity, from the Islamic point of view, if it is intended only for the display of one’s might or intellectual or material superiority…Islam allows, within proper limits, striving and endeavor in the path of life and knowledge provided that it is for a noble purpose and in the interest of mankind…Islam does not regard the earthly life and the present world to be the highest goal of man and the pinnacle of his advancement…The Qur’an asserts that the life of this world is the bridge of the Hereafter and an opportunity for action…The Qur’an condemns those who prefer this perishable, transitory, and imperfect world to the eternal and everlasting, unbounded and faultless Hereafter which is free from every kind of evil and meanness, grief and distress, fear and loss and disease and ill-health…”
