The Knowledge is Provisions from Allaah

 

A precious benefit from the Noble Sheikh ibn Baaz (رحمه الله):

Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى stated:

ومن يتق الله يجعل له مخرجا ـ ويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب

“And whoever fears Allaah, He will make a way out for him (from every difficulty) and provide for him from where he didn’t perceive.”

(Surah at-Talaq 65:2-3)

The Noble Sheikh ibn Baaz (رحمه الله) commented: That which is known, is that the attainment of the knowledge is from the best of the provisions. It is leaving from the restrictions of ignorance and its darkness into the vastness of knowledge and its light. Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى stated: “And whoever fears Allaah, He makes for him ease in his affair.” 

The attainment of the beneficial knowledge is from the greatest of the affairs of ease. That’s because the student of the legislated knowledge reaches by way of his knowledge different aspects of good and the means of salvation which are not easy for the ignorant one (to reach).
