The importance of knowledge in Islam

In the first episode of the season, we reflect on the weighty status knowledge holds in our dīn. From the very first command revealed “Read!” to the praise of those who fear Allah due to what they know, Islam consistently upholds knowledge as a path to Paradise and a sign of Allah’s favor.We explore Qur’ānic verses and hadīth that emphasize the responsibility of seeking, acting upon, and sharing beneficial knowledge especially knowledge of the religion. The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets, and those who sincerely carry and teach this light are promised ongoing reward, even after their death.May Allah increase us in knowledge that benefits and grant us sincerity in both seeking and applying it.Tune in and let your heart be reminded of why learning in Islam isn’t optional ,it’s essential.May Allah increase us in beneficial knowledge and make us people who live what we know. Ameen.
