The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said on importance of Gaining Knowledge:


The proven hadeeth is that which was narrated by Ibn Maajah from the hadeeth of Anas ibn Maalik, who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim". It is also reported in another hadith, “Seek knowledge even if you have to go as far as China, for seeking knowledge is a duty on every Muslim,”


Abu Darda reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

Verily, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge. The inhabitants of the heavens and earth, even the fish in the depths of the water, seek forgiveness for the scholar. The virtue of the scholar over the worshiper is like the superiority of the moon over the stars. The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. They do not leave behind gold or silver coins, but rather they leave behind knowledge.Whoever has taken hold of it has been given an abundant share.


If Allah intends goodness for someone, he gives him understanding of the Code of conducts as prescribed by Allah.


Abu Musa reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,said:


Verily, the parable of the guidance and knowledge that Allah Almighty sent with me is the likeness of rain falling upon the earth. Among them is a good group which receives the water and thus there is abundant growth of herbage and grass. Among them is a barren land which retains the water and thus Allah benefits people from it; they drink from it and graze their animals. And it falls upon another group which is only abysmal; it does not retain water, nor does herbage grow. Such is the parable of one who understands the Deen of Allah (Prescription of code of life) and benefits from what Allah sent with me; he learns and he teaches. Such is the parable of one who does not raise his head and does not accept the guidance Allah sent with me.


Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon  him, said:


By Allah, that Allah guides a man through you is better for you than a herd of expensive red camels.


The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:


When the human being dies, his deeds end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child supplicate for him (i.e fulill dreaams of good of parents)


The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

Verily, the only cure for ignorance is to ask questions (seek knowledge of truth from authenctic sources).


Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:


The word of wisdom is the lost property of the believer. Wherever he finds it, he is most deserving of it


The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, taught below dua to seek from Allah:

O Allah, benefit me with what you have taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase my knowledge

  What does Iqra (اقرأ) mean? The first word revealed in the Quran is sometimes translated as "read" or "recite". In the English language, these two words can hold a broad scope of meanings with slight variations such as: Read: to understand the meaning of written symbols (not necessarily aloud) Recite: to verbally repeat from memory (read aloud) The word Iqra in the many verses seems to have a broad meaning which is (a command to the prophe ) to read and then proclaim it to the people by reciting it aloud. The word Iqra was also used metaprically in the sense of "accumulating something, distributing it, transferring it to other places". "For example, Qaraet'in-nâqatu was the name to the general incident of camels getting pregnant, carrying the baby in the womb,and giving birth to it. in addition, the same word is used for "bringing together letters, words, sentences or information and transmitting it to someone else". This is also why i...

 Surah Al-Isra Ayat 85 : Wa yas’aloonaka ‘anirrooh; qulir roohu min amri rabbee wa maaa ooteetum minal ‘ilmi illaa qaleelaa Sahih International And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, “The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little.” The Hadith of Safeena is a hadith that uses the example of a boat to teach that people should prevent corruption and evil in society. The hadith compares society to a boat, where the lower deck passengers want to make a hole in the boat that will cause it to sink. The hadith states that if the upper deck passengers do not stop the lower deck passengers from making the hole, then everyone will be punished by Allah.  The hadith explains that the upper deck passengers should ensure that the lower deck passengers are well cared for and not troubled by them coming up to the upper deck for water. If the upper deck passengers leave the lower deck passengers to do what they want, then both p...

 One of the learned Islamic scholar Shaykh ibn Taymiyyah said: Three things are lies 1: tafseer (commentary of the Quran written with fake stories and wrong interpretations ) 2: Seerah  (also called al-maghazi- written with fake stories and history made as life of Rasool Allah SAW and his companions) 3. Ghuzwat (also called al-malahim - written with fake battles in Islam) "Allah has provided evidence (i.e. Isnad) establishing the authenticity or lack thereof of the narrations that are necessary in matters of the religion. It is well known that most of what was reported in aspects of Tafsir (commentaries on the Qur'an) is similar to narrations reporting Maghazi (or Seerah) and battles, promoting Imam Ahmad to state that three matters do not have Isnad: Tafsir, Mala'him (i.e. great battles), and Maghazi. This is because most of their narrations are of the Maraseel (without reliable companions or successor) type, such as narrations reported by Urwah Ibn az-Zubair, ash-Sha...
