Question

Write down importance of acquiring the knowledge of science in light of Quran

Answer 1

The Importance of Knowledge in the Quran: The Importance of Seeking Knowledge

A narration from the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him and his household) states:

طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ وَ مُسْلِمَة

Seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim man and woman 2

Many verses of the Quran also speak of gaining knowledge and learning. For example, the following verse:

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿7﴾

We did not send [any apostles] before you except as men to whom We revealed. Ask the People of the Reminder if you do not know. 3
