And the seeking of the knowledge is more Obligatory upon you...

And the seeking of the knowledge is more Obligatory upon you than the seeking of the wealth. The wealth is (already) apportioned, guaranteed for you all (already distributed). A just One -azwj has Apportioned it between you all and He -azwj and my -asws sword Guarantee it for you all; however the knowledge is treasure stored with its rightful one -asws , and you have been Commanded with seeking it from its rightful ones -asws , therefore seek it’.
