The importance of knowledge in islam
In Islam, seeking knowledge is considered a duty for every Muslim, as emphasized by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who stated that it is obligatory and leads to divine rewards. The significance of knowledge is reiterated in various Quranic verses, highlighting that only those with understanding will truly remember and fear Allah. Furthermore, the pursuit of knowledge is esteemed above mere piety, equated to inheriting the legacy of the prophets, who left behind knowledge rather than wealth.
