Allah orders us to “Be Masters” Rabbaniyyun

Faheem Shuaibe

Abdullah ibn Amir (Radhiallahu Anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) happened to pass by two groups (of Muslims) in the mosque and he said: “Both of them are good, but one is superior to the other. One group is supplicating Allah and praying Him. If He so wills He will confer upon them and if He so wills He will withhold. So far as those who are acquiring the understanding of religion and its knowledge and are busy in teaching the ignorant, they are superior. Verily, I have been sent as a teacher.” He then sat down amongst them. (Tirmidhi, 257 and Darimi)
