Muslims are taught iStock.com/Giii
to inculcate sincerity
to such an extent
that our innermost
intention (niyat) to
seek knowledge must
be pure. This means
seeking knowledge
solely for the sake of
obedience to Allah’s
command and His
Messenger’s advice. This
obedience thus manifests Faith (Iman) and makes us
be true to our nature as humans. We then need to
maintain the goodness in our nature through our
character (akhlaq) and excel in being human.

Knowledge is essential to humans in living life, and it
must be pursued constantly and consistently.
“Allah will raise to high ranks those of you who
believe and are endowed with knowledge.” (Al-
Mujadalah, Q58:11)

Furthermore, Prophet Muhammed (SAW) said,
“The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every
Muslim.” (At-Tirmidhi).
