Why Education is Important

 Hazrat Ka‘ab ibn Malik (RA) Ghazwa-e-Tabuk mein Rasoolullah ﷺ ke sath nahi jaa sake. Jab Nabi ﷺ wapas aaye, to wo un 3 sahaba mein se thay jinhon ne jhoot nahi bola.

Unhon ne kaha:

> "Ya Rasool Allah! Main kisi bhi aur waqt se zyada taaqat mein tha, mujhe koi uzar nahi — lekin main ghaflat ka shikar ho gaya."

Log unse keh rahe thay ke:

> "Jhoot bol do, Rasoolullah ﷺ tumhare liye istighfar kar denge, baat khatam!"

Lekin Ka‘ab (RA) ne kaha:

> "Main jhoot bol kar Allah ko naraz nahi kar sakta."

Phir Rasoolullah ﷺ ne in 3 logon ke sath social boycott ka hukm diya — kisi ne salam ka jawab nahi diya, unse baat nahi ki gayi.

50 din tak yeh sabr, tanhaai, andheron ka waqt tha. Lekin Ka‘ab (RA) ne kisi se madad nahi maangi, na complain ki, na bheek, sirf khud-aiteemaadi, sachai aur sabr rakha.

Aakhir mein Allah ne unke bare mein ayat nazil ki:

📖 Qurani Ayat:

> "وَعَلَى الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا..."

(Surah At-Tawbah 9:118)

Tarjuma:

"Aur un teen logon par bhi (khuda ne rehmat ki) jo peeche chhoot gaye thay..."

🌟 Paighaam:

Ka‘ab (RA) ne kahin bhi madad maang kar apni zimmedari se bhaagna nahi chaha

Unhone jhoot nahi bola, kisi sahabi se sifarish nahi karwai

Khud apni ghalti accept ki, sabr kiya, tanhaai bardasht ki — yeh hoti hai asli khud-aiteemaadi
