acquiring knowledge is to create zeal to learn and put into practice of all the
commandments of Allah by the listing or reading the virtues of our deeds and

those who seek such knowledge. Allah says in Holy Quran: Even as We have sent
to you a messenger from among you, who recites to you Our revelations and causes
you to grow, and teaches you the Scripture and wisdom, and teaches you that
which you knew not. (2:151) He gives wisdom to whom He will, and he to whom
wisdom is given, he truly has received abundant good But none remember except
men of understanding (2:269), And that those who have been given knowledge may
know that it is the truth from your Lord, so that they may believe therein and
their hearts may submit humbly to Him. Surely! Allah verily is guiding those
who believe to a right path. (22:54) The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam) says: "He who leaves home in search of knowledge walked in the path of
Allah." He also says: "For him who goes out in search of religious
knowledge Allah shall make easy the way to Heaven" To acquire an amount of
knowledge that enable a man to perform his religious duties correctly is
incumbent upon all Muslims, men and women. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi
Wasallam) says: "The acquisition of knowledge is incumbent on every Muslim”.
