The Importance of Knowledge in Islam

Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, may peace be upon him, was born in 570 AD in Makkah, Arabia. At the age of 40, he received his first revelation, which lays great emphasis on knowledge. (The Quran, 96)

original + quoteOriginal text with a quotation or mention inside it

Without doubt, knowledge is the beginning of all human progress. God created man apparently in the form of an animal. But man has been endowed with a brain of unlimited potential.

Acquiring knowledge is essential for utilizing this potential. Learning helps the human brain reach a higher intellectual level.

It is through knowledge that man knows human history; he discovers the secrets of nature; he scans through the surface of things to learn the deeper facts. The importance of learning is as essential for one person as it is for another.
