The Closing Words of a Shar'i Course
By Shaykh Abu Yahyaa Al-Libi (may Allaah preserve him)
From that which we extract from this course, is that the disassociation, and in which some people try to separate between the act of worship of Jihaad and seeking knowledge, then there is no truth in this. Meaning to assume that there is Jihaad with no knowledge, then this is incorrect. And the assumption that the scholar or seeker of knowledge cant do Jihaad, then this is wrong.
Why?
Because Allaah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'aalaa informed us of the truth of His Book and said:
"Had it been from other than Allaah, they would surely have found therein many a contradiction." [Quraan An-Nisaa, Verse 82]
These are the Verses of Allaah Azza Wa Jall that are in the Quraan.
And so as in the Book of Allaah Subhaanahu Wa Taaalaa, that descended from Him, there isnt any conflict between its Verses, and there are no contradictions between its rulings, and so the acts of worship that Allaah Azza Wa Jall ordered us with, there is no conflict between them.
So this matter, which some tried to fabricate, invent and exaggerate; that Jihaad and knowledge dont meet, then this is wrong. And an example or evidence for this is what we are living now. This is with the blessing of Allaah Azza Wa Jall a proof that seeking knowledge can exist in the fields of Jihaad¦
