Question:
Salaamalayikum wa rahmathullahi wa barakatuh.
Can you explain me the exact meaning of this quote?
“If someone worships Allah without knowledge,what he does incorrectly will be more than what he does properly.”
[Qutub-ul Akthaar Ashayhk Abdul Qadir Al Jilani QaddasaAllahuSharafulAzeez]
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
He has to learn the absolute basic essentials of worship and of the Divine Attributes, otherwise his worship will be based merely on imitation of others and personal opinion, so he will be more vulnerable to sins, waswas and attacks on his faith. Hence a hadith states that a single learned worshipper is harder on shaytan than 70 non-learned worshippers. And Allah knows best.
Hajj Gibril Haddad
