of knowledge that relatives are treated well. Knowledge is Imam and practicing it is its subservient. Knowledge is put into the hearts of the fortunate people, while unfortunate people are kept deprived of it.

(Jami’ Bayan-ul-‘Ilm, pp. 77, Hadees 240)

The person who walks onto a path for seeking knowledge, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will make the path to Paradise easy for him. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 1447, Hadees 2699)

The person, who leaves his home for gaining knowledge, is in the way of Allah until he returns. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 294, Hadees 2656)

Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestows the understanding of religion upon the one with whom He عَزَّوَجَلَّ wills to bestow with goodness.

(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 1, pp. 42, Hadees 71)

When a person dies, his deeds are disconnected except three: (1) Sadaqah Jariyah [i.e. the noble act that brings about perpetual reward] (2) the knowledge from which benefit is obtained (3) righteous children who make Du’a for him. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 886, Hadees 1631)

Lack of knowledge causes harm

Dear Islamic brothers! Not only have we got many virtues of Islamic knowledge from these blessed Ahadees, we have also learnt that Sadaqah Jariyah [i.e. the noble act that brings about perpetual reward], propagation of Islamic knowledge and righteous offspring are such good deeds from which one continues to receive reward even after his death. Therefore, get ready to provide your children with Islamic knowledge and enrol in Jami’a-tul- Madinah. Currently, one of the biggest evils is ignorance which is at the top of all other evils of the society. Whether it is the domestic matter or business matter, matter related to friends or relatives, Nikah [Islamic marriage] or the good upbringing of children; in short, whether it is related to the rights of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ or the rights of humans, evil acts are being committed in every walk of life due to the lack of Islamic knowledge.
