Answer:

Allah raises the level of people in two ways: (a) Belief in Him and (b) Knowledge of Him. This is established in the following verse of the Qur’an. Allah said:

“Allah raises the level of those who believe and those who are endowed with knowledge.” [Al-Qur’an 58:11]

Acquiring knowledge of Allah is the most important obligation on every Muslim because Allah ordered seeking knowledge (i.e. the knowledge of Himself) prior to declaration of the Shahadah. He said:

“And know that there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah then seek forgiveness for your sins.” [47:19]

To emphasise seeking knowledge before doing any action, Imaam Al-Bukhari used the above verse as a basis for a chapter in his all famous Sahih. He entitles that chapter: “Knowledge before speech and action”.

Book of Knowledge: [Sahih Bukhari Vol: 1 Ch 11]
