I heard a scholar, Mr. Khalid Zaheer, enumerating qualities of an
ilm dost, friend of knowledge:
- He is Truthful and doesn't fail to accept truth
- He is not prideful/proudly of his knowledge, nor does he consider others worthless
- He is very Honest. He fully acknowledges contributions of others.
- He is not prejudiced, nor is he sentimental when it comes to understanding nature of things.
- But, when it comes to action, he is emotional in acting upon his knowledge.
- He does not hoard knowledge; rather is keen in spreading it.
- He is balanced and maintains balance/'itidal.
- He is not snobbish.
- He prays five times prayers.
- He reads Qur'an daily.
- He is polite.
