We must show utmost respect towards our teachers, because our scholars are the true Heirs of the Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) as per the authentic hadith: ‘The scholars are the heirs of the prophets. The prophets did not leave money to be inherited, they left knowledge.’ And whoever inherited knowledge, has inherited a large fortune.
The best example that comes to mind is of the respect shown by the righteous companions towards Prophet Muhammad (peace & blessings be upon him), as Imam at-Tirmidhi narrated in his Shamaa’il.
When the companions sat in his blessed presence, in his blessed circles they were so still that it was as if they had a bird sitting on their head and they did not want it to fly away.
The Prophetic companions were very respectful, and they would not interrupt, make a noise or be distracted. They were so attentive they did not just listen with their ears, they listened with their hearts. This is how we can truly benefit from knowledge.
Allah Almighty bless all our teachers and allow us to benefit from them in the most beautiful of ways.
