"And there are amongst them, the unlettered ones who do not know the Book, but vain desires." (2 :71)
The Holy Qur'an says:
"The likeness of those who are entrusted with the Law of Moses, yet apply it not, is as the likeness of the ass carrying books." (62: 5)
Abu Darda' (Allah be pleased with him) reported that we were in the company of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He (the Holy Prophet) looked towards the sky and mentioned a matter saying: "That will be at the time when knowledge departs." Ziad b. Labid Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) asked, "How can knowledge part when we recite the Qur'an and teach it to our children and they will teach it to their children up till the Day of Resurrection?" He (the Holy Prophet) replied, "I am astonished at you, Ziad. I thought you were the most learned man in Medina. Do not these Jews and Christians read the Torah and the Injil (Bible) without knowing a thing about their contents?"" Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a hasan gharib hadith.
'Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that when the following Verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) :
"Lo! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of
the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for a people who have sense." (2 : 164)
he (the Holy Prophet) said: There is a destruction for a person who recited this Verse but did not ponder over it. Ibn Hibban transmitted it.
