The importance of knowledge and education
"Get knowledge even if you have to go to China." From the hadith, the importance of knowledge becomes clear, how important it is for a Muslim to acquire knowledge and education, and China, which at that time was immersed in disbelief, ie, if one has to travel in the area of disbelievers for knowledge, then do it. The beginning of the book Quran which was revealed for the guidance and development of the whole world was read “Iqra”. Aalam Jal Shanah revealed on the blessed heart of Rehmat-e-Aalam that it is Iqra, meaning read, and the first five verses revealed in 6000 verses of Holy Qur'an also show the importance of pen and the greatness of knowledge. In the Holy Qur'an, he said:
Translation: Read in the name of your Lord Who created, created man from a clot of blood, read. So keep reading. Who taught man that which he did not know. This is the first great blessing which the Blessed Almighty bestowed on his beloved Prophet Muhammad and this is the first blessing which Ar-Rahman has bestowed on His servants by His mercy and grace. This is a warning to man on his first birth that he was in the form of a clot of blood. It also means that whoever practices his knowledge, Allah will make him inherit the knowledge which he does not know. In the Qur'an, the Almighty says: Translation: And the Almighty taught Adam all the names (of things) and then presented all the things to the angels and said: If it is true then tell their names. Happened? The Almighty, in a special knowledge, bestowed on Adam (peace be upon him) the superiority and greatness over the angels and this virtue does not belong to the angels either. He said that he should tell Adam (peace be upon him) all the names of all his offspring, all the animals, earth and sky, mountains, wetlands, land, horses, donkeys, vessels, animals, birds, angels, moon and so on. He gave the knowledge of Adam to Adam (peace be upon him). Our Prophet Aqa is also a prophet who teaches knowledge and wisdom, then it is the duty of Muslims who follow Islam to devote themselves to the pursuit of knowledge. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Acquiring knowledge is the duty of every Muslim man (woman).” He wants to convey that the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prove to be the true knowledge, and it is the guarantor of the true well-being and success of mankind. He says that the Qur'aan is the real knowledge and The arts are in the category of information, all this information can be obtained according to one's own ability, because the principles of all these have been enshrined in the leaven of Adam (peace be upon him) as is known from this verse of the Holy Qur'an: And the Almighty has revealed to Adam all things. he has been blessed with worldly and otherworldly good tidings. The Qur'an says: "Those of you who believe and those who have been given knowledge, will raise their ranks and know what you are doing." Say, "Can those who have knowledge (the scholar) and those who do not have knowledge (the ignorant) be equal? Only those who have intellect receive advice." ۔ The Blessed and Exalted says: "Say: Can the blind (the ignorant) and the seer (the world) be equal, or can it be equal, the darkness and the light?" The difference has been made clear in some verses and with the determination of their rank, Muslims have been encouraged to acquire knowledge. They are busy, all the creatures of Allah keep praying for them, but their position and status is also that the Messenger of Allah has declared them as the heirs and successors of the Prophets. He said: “Whoever acquires knowledge. If he paves the way for the purpose of Allah, then he leads him to a path to heaven. The angels spread their wings for the happiness of the student and surely all things in the heavens and the earth ask forgiveness for the world, even the fish that are in the water. The world has such a virtue over Abid as the moon has over all the stars. Turning the pages of history, it is clear that we are the real inheritors of the treasures of knowledge, wisdom and industry which are now owned by the people of Europe. But due to our negligence, ignorance and decay, we have lost all our rights along with our characteristics.
