Bismillah, I start by the name of Allah and ask Allah to raise the rank of our beloved and master Prophet Muhammad.
The Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said:
طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ
Talabul-^ilmi faridatun ^ala kulli Muslim.
Which means:
**“Seeking the [obligatory] religious knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” (Related by al-Bayhaqiyy.) **
Learning the Religious knowledge is among the best things that one may spend one’s time doing. The safe path that protects a person and his family from Hellfire is by learning the Islamic knowledge, i.e., learning what Allah made obligatory upon us and learning what Allah ordered us to avoid.
Allah, ta^ala, said in the Qur’an:
يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ
Yarfa^illahu-lladhina amanu minkum walladhina utul-^ilma darajat.
Ayah 11 of Suratul-Mujadalah means:
{Allah raises to higher ranks the believers and those of (Islamic) knowledge.}
The Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said:
مَنْ يُرِدِ اللهُ بِهِ خَيْراً يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ
May yuridillahu bihi kayray-yufaqqihhu fid-din.
Which means:
“The one for whom Allah willed goodness, Allah guides him to become a knowledgeable person in the Religion.” (Narrated by al-Bukhariyy.)
We ask Allah to enable us to implement these teachings sincerely.
Allah knows best.
