Importance of Knowledge
الحمد للہ الذی یرفع الذین اٰمنوا منکم والذین اوتوا العلم درجات والصلوۃ والسلام علی النبی الامی الذی قیل لہ اقرا باسم ربک الذی خلق
The significance of knowledge is beautifully underscored in Islam. When Muhammad bin Abdullah was chosen as NABI MUHAMMAD صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (peace be upon him), the very first revelation bestowed upon him was:
“اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ”—”Read in the name of your Lord.”
This divine commandment to read encompasses the entire process of acquiring, sharing, and applying knowledge (ilm).
History further exemplifies this commitment. It is recorded that Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ encouraged even prisoners to teach literacy to their brethren in exchange for freedom—a profound testimony to the value placed on education. SubhanAllah!
This dedication to knowledge has inspired countless efforts to establish educational institutions, particularly in remote and underserved areas, providing opportunities to the Muslim community.
Umar bin Khattab Academy proudly considers itself a part of this legacy. Education is undeniably the cornerstone of religious, social, and economic progress. It empowers individuals to achieve their aspirations, fosters creativity, and builds a society where shared knowledge addresses collective challenges.
By prioritizing education, we can uplift the Muslim Ummah and contribute to a brighter, united future globally.
