▪️al-ʿĀlim or al-Shahīd?▪️
⠀⠀Our Shaykh, al-Ḥāfiẓ, al-Muḥaddith, al-Faqīh, ʾAbū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jumʻān Ibn Ramaḍān Laḥmar (حفظه الله ورعاه) was asked on the 13th of Shawwāl, 1442H:
⠀⠀📩 "Which one is more virtuous, al-ʿĀlim (the scholar) or al-Shahīd (the martyr)?"
⠀⠀🎙️ Shaykh ʾAbū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jumʻān Ibn Ramaḍān Laḥmar (حفظه الله ورعاه):
"The scholar. This is due to the statement of Allāh عزوجل:
{... فَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِینَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَیۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِیِّـۧنَ وَٱلصِّدِّیقِینَ وَٱلشُّهَدَاۤءِ... }
'... they are with those whom Allāh has blessed, from the Prophets, the Ṣiddiqīn, the Shuhadāʾ and the righteous...' [Surah An-Nisāʾ: 69]
And the scholars are from the rank of the Ṣiddiqīn (the upright, righteous, steadfast upon good.)
Also due to the statement of Allāh عزوجل:
{ وَٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۤ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلصِّدِّیقُونَۖ وَٱلشُّهَدَاۤءُ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرُهُمۡ وَنُورُهُمۡۖ...}
'As for those who believe in Allāh عزوجل and His messengers, it is they who are truly al-Ṣiddiqīn. And the martyrs, with their Lord, will have their reward and their light...' [Surah Al-Ḥadīd: 19]
Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said:
'The ink of the scholars is more virtuous than the blood of the martyr.'
Allāhu Akbar."
