Seeking knowledge is mandatory for all Muslims.
With such direct command to go out and seek knowledge, Muslims have placed huge emphasis on the educational system in order to fulfill this obligation placed on them by the Prophet Mohammed Sallalahu Alay hi Wa Sallam. Throughout Islamic history, education was a point of Pride and filed Muslims have always excelled in.
Children, are the future. The future lies in their hands, but only through knowledge because whoever neglects learning in youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.
To seek knowledge is a sacred duty, it is obligatory on every Muslim, male and female. The first word revealed of the Quran was “Iqra” READ! Seek knowledge!
Educate yourselves…! Be educated.
Surah Al-Zumr, Ayah 9 reveals: “Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know?”
Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 269 reveals: “Allah grants wisdom to whom He pleases and to whom wisdom is granted indeed he receives an overflowing benefit.”
The main purpose of acquiring knowledge is to bring us closer to Allah. One of the purposes of acquiring knowledge is to gain the good of this world, not to destroy it through wastage, arrogance and in the reckless pursuit of higher standards of material comfort.
Another purpose of knowledge is to spread freedom and dignity, truth and justice. It is not to gain power and dominance for its own sake.
The following Ahadith shows how important and how rewarding knowledge is:
“He who acquires knowledge acquires a vast portion.” AND “If anyone going on his way in search of knowledge, Allah will, thereby make easy for him the way to Paradise.”
The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam emphasized the importance of providing education stating: ‘The best amongst you is the one who learns the Quran and teaches it.’ – Sahih al-Bukhari.
