As Muslims, seeking knowledge is so important that it is an obligation. Through this process, we gain a deeper understanding of our religion and draw closer to Allah s.w.t. As the saying goes, "knowledge is power," and the knowledge we gain as Muslims can help us navigate the challenges and complexities of the modern world with confidence and clarity.
Furthermore, the process of seeking knowledge is not only beneficial for our spiritual growth but also has a positive impact on our communities and society at large. When we seek knowledge, we are better equipped to serve others and contribute positively to the world around us.
Although the process may seem difficult, we are hopeful that our efforts will bring us closer to Jannah. Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet s.a.w said:
مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ
"Whoever treads a path of seeking knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him."
(Sahih Muslim)
