§  The first and foremost purpose of study is to gain knowledge, because where study is a source that helps a person to progress a lot, it also becomes the source of gaining knowledge.

§  Study causes a person to ponder over the universe which, sometimes, brings massive success for him.

§  In the Holy Quran, great emphasis has been laid on pondering over the universe.

§  Study increases intellect and sense of understanding. A sensible person knows when, where and what to speak. That’s why he always succeeds and attains respect. On the other hand, a person who lacks understanding, remains deprived of these things; therefore, he often faces failure and disgrace.

§  Study brings about religious and worldly progress of a person. This is the most important advantage of study.

§  Study enhances one’s character, improves eyesight and refreshes brain and mind. The way a good friend provides us with interesting news and surprising information, similarly, a book also plays a role like a good companion.

§  Study gives information about the conditions of different nations and about their culture and custom. Through these pieces of news one compares his and their civilizations and then finds out the reason for superiority. (Mutala’ah, Kya, Kyun aur Kaysay, pp. 16-20)

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you realise! Study has many advantages. Therefore, instead of wasting our time in useless activities, we should also get into the habit of studying daily; or rather we should always have with us a book or booklet published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, so that we can study it and gain some Islamic knowledge wherever we find free time. Travelling with the Madani Qafilahs of Dawat-e-Islami is a source of serving Islam and gaining Islamic knowledge.
