O Ghulaam (O young man)!
Learn Tawheed, and know your Lord and worship Him upon that.
Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما was only ten years old when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم passed away. [Saheeh
al-Bukhaaree (5035)]
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم supplicated for him saying: ❝O Allaah give him the understanding of the
religion and teach him the interpretation (of al-Qur’aan).❞ [Musnad Ahmad (5/15 & 41) and Authenticated by Shaikh
al-Albaanee in al-Saheehah (2589). See also Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (75, 3756 &
7270)]
Scholars refer to Ibn `Abbaas as: Ink of the Ummah, the
ocean of knowledge, the jurist of his time, the Imaam of Tafseer.
And look at what the
Prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم taught him at that tender age:
❝O young man, I shall teach you some
words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allaah and Allaah will protect you. Be mindful
of Allaah and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, then ask Allaah [alone];
and if you seek help, then seek help from Allaah [alone]. And know that if the
nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not
benefit you except with what Allaah had already prescribed for you. And if they
were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you
except with what Allaah had already prescribed against you. The pens have been
lifted and the pages have dried.❞ [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2516) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
This Hadeeth sums up
Tawheed in the most concise and beautiful way possible. In a few words this
Hadeeth defines Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat, Tawheed al-`Ibaadah and Tawheed
al-Ruboobiyah.
This is how one imparts
knowledge to the young and the old!
Teach them Tawheed!
Teach them the things
which have the highest priority in our Deen!
Teach that which will
benefit them the most in the Hereafter.
THIS IS THE NEED OF THE
HOUR!
Don’t waste their time
with your parrot joke or your fabricated (poke-man) narration.
