Sincere Learners and Teachers a ray of hope still exists for him. Even in extremes of frustration, he can see that opportunities have not come to an end for him. Although some doors of life have been closed to him, there were other doors still open to him, by entering which he could continue on his life’s journey. SINCERE LEARNERS AND TEACHERS A learner should also be a sincere listener. He should listen attentively and should take it in the sense in which the speaker wants it to be taken. A ccording to a tradition, the Prophet of Islam once observed: “Knowledge is like a treasure to which the key is asking questions. God may be merciful to you, but you should keep questioning. Because there are three types of people who are rewarded for knowledge: one, the speaker, the other, the hearer and the third, the taker.” (Al-Adab al-Duniya wal-Din lilMawardi, p. 110)
