Knowledge is like an Arrow

Question: Sayyidi (Q), are knowledges are like arrows shot at shayateen?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), knowledge is indeed like arrows shot at shayateen. The knowledge that we seek and acquire is a means of protection and defense against the whispers and influences of shayateen (devils). When we seek knowledge with the intention of drawing closer to Allah and understanding His divine wisdom, it becomes a powerful tool to repel negative influences and protect ourselves from the traps of shaytan.

In the teachings of our beloved Shaykh, knowledge is described as a form of power, specifically angelic power and energy. This knowledge is a light that emanates from the heavenly kingdom, and it has the ability to push away negativity and falsehood. Just as arrows are used in battle to repel the enemy, knowledge serves as a means to repel the negative influences and whispers of shayateen that seek to lead us astray.

When we immerse ourselves in beneficial knowledge, it fortifies our spiritual defenses and strengthens our connection to the Divine Presence. This shields us from falling into doubt, ignorance, and negative actions that shayateen may try to instigate within us. Therefore, seeking knowledge and applying it in our lives is akin to shooting arrows at shayateen, protecting ourselves from their harmful influences.

May Allah (ﷻ) grant us the wisdom to seek beneficial knowledge and use it to protect ourselves from the whispers of shayateen. Ameen.

It’s important to remember that seeking knowledge should be accompanied by good character, high intentions, and a sincere desire to draw closer to Allah. May you continue to seek knowledge with a pure heart and be of service to the Tariqa and others.
