Importance of knowledge

Knowledge is of great importance in Islam. The first revelation from Allah was on knowledge. Allah said to the prophet and to all Muslims:
“Read! In the name of your Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer) Who created— created man, out of a leech-like clot: Read! And your Rabb is Most Bountiful and Generous Who has taught (the use of) pen. He has taught man that which he knew not.” (Qur’an, 96:1-5)
Imam Bukhari said, “Knowledge is before saying or doing”. He said that Allah said, “O! Prophet of Allah, Know that there is no God except Allah” (Qur’an, 47:19).
So knowledge is the most important thing in the world, because by gaining a lot of knowledge you will live in a comfortable life in the world and you will be rewarded with paradise by Allah in the hereafter. So my friends work hard in order to live in a comfortable life in the world and to enter paradise on the doomsday. Pull up your socks.
