Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from knowingly associating partners with You in any way, and I seek Your forgiveness for that which I do not know. Ameen.

Among the things that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. stress on during his life time are education and knowlege. Education is "the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university". While knowledge is "facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject".

 

Prophet Muhammad s.a.w spent his life teaching  the principles of Islam and the law laid down by Allah s.w.t. to the people around him be it the Muslims or the pagans. Here are some hadith that proved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. emphasizes on the importance of education and knowledge:

 

"The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim" [Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 74]

 

"Acquire knowledge and impart it to the people" [Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 107]

 

"Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: The knowledge from which no benefit is derived is like a treasure out of which nothing is spent in the cause of Allah" [Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 108]

 

"....and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah makes that path easy, leading to Jannah for him...." [Riyadus Salihin, Hadith 245]

 

With these, we should not stop from educating ourselves and acquiring knowledge. Because through both of these that we could bring ourselves out from the state of ignorant to the state of literate.
