Allâh, the Most High, says in the Qur’ân

"It is only those who have knowledge amongst His slaves that fear Allâh" (35:28)


Allâh, the Most High, also says in the Qur’ân

"Say: Believe in it (ie the Qur’ân) or do not believe (in it). Verily! Those who were given knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration, and they say: "Glory be to our Lord! Truly the promise of our Lord must be fulfilled. And they fall down on their faces weeping, and it adds to their humility". (17:107-9)


'Abdul A'lâ al-Taymee, said with regard to these noble verse:

"Whoever is given knowledge that doesn't make him weep, then clearly he has not been given knowledge that benefits, because Allâh, the Most High, has described the knowledgeable by saying: (17:107)".


Allâh, the Most High, says in the Qur’ân:

"And those who have been given knowledge know that it (the Qur’ân) is the truth from your Lord, and that they may believe therein, and their hearts may submit to it with humility. And verily Allâh is the guide of those who believe in the Straight Path" (22:54)


On the authority of Abû Dharr (ra) who said that the Messenger of Allâh (saw) said,

"I can see what you do not see, and I can hear what you do not hear. Indeed the sky groans (the large no.s of angels in the sky make it heavy so that it groans) and it has a right to do so. There is not an area equal to that of four fingers, except that an angel is prostrating to Allâh therein. By Allâh! If you knew what I know you would laugh little and weep much, and you would not enjoy your wives in bed. But rather you would come out onto the hills, supplicating and praying fervently to Allâh"
(Ahmad, at-Tirmidhî, Ibn Mâjah, hasan)
