The Importance of knowledge.
In The Name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful.
May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon his last and final messenger.
asalamu alaykum (peace be upon you)
The first words ever revealed to our beloved prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) were
Surah 96 Ayahs 1-2
Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,
These words were not designated for a certain gender or a race or any particular group but rather this qur'an is meant to govern all humanity.With that said, we can conclude that knowledge is something that we cannot be without. We need knowledge to in order to worship Allah subhaanahu wa ta'aala in the proper manner.
Allah says in the Holy Qur'an
Surah 25 Ayah 59
He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between, in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): Allah Most Gracious: ask thou, then, about Him of any acquainted (with such things).
Allah says in the Holy Qur'an
He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between, in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): Allah Most Gracious: ask thou, then, about Him of any acquainted (with such things).
Surah 39 Ayah 9
Is one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the Mercy of his Lord - (like one who does not)? Say: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition.
Surah 58 Ayah 11
O ye who believe! When ye are told to make room in the assemblies, (spread out and) make room: (ample) room will Allah provide for you. And when ye are told to rise up, rise up Allah will rise up, to (suitable) ranks (and degrees), those of you who believe and who have been granted (mystic) Knowledge. And Allah is well- acquainted with all ye do.
Abu ad Dardaa (may Allaah be pleased with him) in which he says The Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) said: "He who treads a path in search of knowledge Allaah will direct him to tread a path from the paths of Paradise. The Angels lower their wings for the student of knowledge in approval of what he does. All in the heavens and earth and the fish in the depth of the water seek forgiveness for the scholar, and the superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like the superiority of the full moon at night over the rest of the stars. Verily the scholars are the heirs to the Prophets. Verily, the Prophets did not bequeath deenars or dirhams. All they left behind was knowledge, so whoever takes it, has indeed acquired a huge fortune."
Asalamu alaykum (Peace be upon you)
