Importance of Ilm [Knowledge]

"The Seeking of knowledge is obligatory for EVERY Muslim."

Only by seeking, do we acquire knowledge, and only with the acquisition of knowledge do we find truth and guidance.

"Seek knowledge, because seeking it for the sake of Allah is a worship. And knowing it makes you more God-fearing; and searching for it is jihad, teaching it to those who do not know is charity, reviewing and learning it more is like tasbeeh. Through knowledge Allah will be known and worshipped. With the knowledge Allah will elevate people and make them leaders and imams, who will in turn guide other people." [Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya vol.10, p.39]

Only through the knowledge of our Lord can we truly love our Lord, and worship Him subhanahu wa ta'ala with true reverence. And only with the knowledge of Quran and Sunnah, through the knowledge of Islam and our deen, the teachings and the commandments, can we truly worship with excellence and devotion and come closer to our Lord subhanahu.

“It is only those who have knowledge amongst His slaves that fear Allah.” [Soorah Al-Fatir (35): 28]
