Surah Yunus, Ayat 42-43-44

Ayat 42. And among them are some who listen to you, but can you make the deaf to hear, even though they apprehend not?

Ayat 43. And among them are some who look at you, but can you guide the blind, even though they see not?

Ayat 44. Truly! Allah wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves.

Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: There were two brothers in the days of the Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH). One of them used to attend the Prophet's circle (to acquire knowledge) and the other used to earn their living). Once the latter complained to the Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH) against the former (for not earning his living). He  [SAWW](PBUH) replied, "Perhaps you are being provided because of him". [At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2345].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yunus Ayat 44. "Truly! Allah wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves."  This Hadith evidently shows that it is permissible and desirable to devote oneself or make someone else to devote himself for religious knowledge. Such students of religious knowledge should not be considered a burden. Similarly, one should also not ignore those students and scholars who are devoted to such knowledge because Allah makes their help a means of increasing the donor's sources of subsistence.
