Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) mentioned:<\/p>\n
The first and most important demand of deeni knowledge which one acquires is that it should serve as a means to assist one in taking stock of one\u2019s life and becoming conscious of one\u2019s deeni obligations and responsibilities towards Allah Ta\u2018ala and the creation. It should be a means for one to realize one\u2019s weaknesses and shortcomings and create the desired level of concern to correct and reform one\u2019s character and ways. However, if the deeni knowledge one acquires does not enable one to see one\u2019s own weaknesses and look for solutions to correct oneself, but instead becomes a means of searching for the faults in people\u2019s actions and scrutinizing their lives, then the outcome of such knowledge is that it will breed pride and haughtiness within a person. This in turn will lead to one\u2019s destruction. (Malfoozaat Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas
