AsSaLaMu'AlAiKuM !
Once ten wise men came to Sayyidina Ali (RA) and posed this question: 'Why is knowledge better than wealth?' Each of these men demanded a seperate answer in turn. Sayyidina Ali (RA) gave the following answers:-
1. Knowledge is better than wealth because you guard wealth, whereas knowledge guards you.
2. Knowledge is better than wealth because the wealthy have enemies and the learned have many friends.
3. Knowledge is better than wealth because the former is a legacy of the Prophets, and the latter is a heritage of the Pharaohs.(Firaun)
4. Knowledge is better because it increases with distribution whereas wealth decreases.
5. Knowledge is better because a wealthy person generally becomes a miser.
The five remaining answers will be posted tomorrow, InsyaAllah. SaLaM.
