THE VIRTUE OF KNOWLEDGE .. KETINGGIAN ILMU ..

 

Allah SWT meninggikan derajat orang-orang yang mencari ilmu karena ridha-Nya. 

 

Dalam Alquran, Allah SWT berfirman:

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوا۟ فِى ٱلْمَجَٰلِسِ فَٱفْسَحُوا۟ يَفْسَحِ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا قِيلَ ٱنشُزُوا۟ فَٱنشُزُوا۟ يَرْفَعِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ دَرَجَٰتٍ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ


Artinya:

 

 “Hai orang-orang beriman apabila dikatakan kepadamu:

 

 “Berlapang-lapanglah dalam majelis”, maka lapangkanlah niscaya Allah akan memberi kelapangan untukmu. 

 

Dan apabila dikatakan:

 

 “Berdirilah kamu”, maka berdirilah, niscaya Allah akan meninggikan orang-orang yang beriman di antaramu dan orang-orang yang diberi ilmu pengetahuan beberapa derajat. 

 

Dan Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang kamu kerjakan.”

 

 (QS.  Surat Al-Mujadalah ayat: 11).

Begitupun dalam sebuah Hadits disebutkan juga keutamaan mempelajari ilmu pengetahuan. 

 

Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda:

وَمَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ

Artinya: 

 

“Barang siapa yang menempuh jalan untuk mencari ilmu, maka Allah akan mudahkan baginya jalan menuju surga.”
