There is a great manner that many people unaware of, which is establishing the principle of working and learning only for the sake of Allah. This principle is disregarded because some people are away of their religion. I may swear that the doers of many useful knowledge and great deeds haven’t gain any benefit out of their inventions and they’ve gone with the wind, because they neither work nor learn for the sake of Allah. they did not care to work or learn for the welfare of other muslim brothers, they rather intended to gain position, glory, therefore their deeds deserve to become nonsense. The only benefit they might have is the others’ praise and compliment in the present life which is a temporary thing.
This we can understand better from a hadith narrated by abu hurairah, in which the prophet (pbuh) said:
“Allah the almighty asks a man in the day of judgement about his deeds. he answered that he learned and taught and read the holy quran all for Allah’s sake. allah says: you are a liar; you learned in order to make others praise you, and read the quran in order to let others say how great he is reciting, and they did. Then he is pull on his face and thrown in the hell”. reported by muslim (1905)
