Question:
Assalam-o-alaikum wa rehmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
I want to ask if it is fine to start my studies again? Actually I was doing my Masters in Zoology in but thinking that time could be utilized in doing ibadah of ALLAH (swt). I stopped my studies! Now my relatives and family members are forcing me to complete my studies for they think educated man will not marry a girl with incomplete education!
Please tell me that ALLAH (swt) will not get angry with me if I study just for the sake of getting degree! JazakALLAH khairan.
Answer:
Alaikum salam Wa rahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
‘Seek knowledge even if you have to travel to China’ – Prophetic Hadith. Finish your degree it will never stop you from doing ibadah. Seeking knowledge is ibadah, Making your family happy is ibadah. “Work for your worldly needs as if you were to live forever and do ibadah as if you were to die tomorrow” – another Prophetic Hadith. So make a balance in your life.
