Lesson twenty three :The most severe punishment

Islam`s Prophet( S. A. )says:

أَشَدُّ النّاسِ عَذَابا فِى الْقِيامَةِ عَالِمٌ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ بِعِلْمِهِ وَ لَمْ يَنْفَعْهُ عِلْمُهُ‌

Translation

One who knows something and does not observe it, and does not use his knowledge, his punishment in the Hereafter would be the most severe one..

Brief description

In Islam`s logic, knowledge is always a tool for practice and improving individual and society`s life.

Otherwise it has no value.

Those who commit a sin unknowingly have less responsibility, but high responsibility shall be on the burden of those who commit a sin knowingly, and those who neglect making aware different levels of society, and whosoever enjoys a small or big share of knowledge, shall bear the same responsibility accordingly.
