Allah said...

Allah said: by My glory and honor, I have not created a creature more honored to me than you; by you I take, and by you I give, by you I reward and by you I punish.” [4] He said, “A man does not obtain (anything) like a sound reason that guides him to guidance and holds him back from perishment.

A servant’s faith is not completed and his religion is not straight until his reason is completed.” [5] Aa’isha narrated, “I said to the messenger of Allah, ‘With what are people preferred to each other in this life?’ He said, ‘With reason.’ I said, ‘And in the afterlife?’ He said, ‘With reason.’ I said, ‘Shall they not be rewarded due to their deeds?’ He said, ‘O Aa’isha, do they work except inasmuch as the reason that Allah the Almighty has given to them?

The Prophet (a.s.) said, “A fool may ravage by his foolishness much more than the error of a disobedient.” [2] Knowledge Knowledge is the most important pillar on which the civilization of a nation is based, and it is the main basis of its development in all fields of life. It is impossible for any nation to have an important position under the sun while it is burdened with the ties of ignorance.

Islam insistingly invites its followers to seek knowledge, and it has made that obligatory on every Muslim man and every Muslim woman. The Prophet (a.s.) said, “Seeking knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim man and every Muslim woman.

Surely Allah loves the seekers of knowledge.” [3] The reward of scholars Imam Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (a.s.) narrated that his grandfather the messenger of Allah (a.s.) said, “Whoever walks in a way seeking in it knowledge, Allah will put him in a way towards the Paradise. The angels shall lower their wings for a seeker of knowledge as pleased with him. Whoever in the heaven and in the earth and even whales in the sea pray Allah to forgive the seekers of knowledge.

The preference of a scholar to a worshipper is like the preference of the moon to the rest of [1] Nihayat al-Irab, vol. 3 p. 231, Ihya’ al-Uloom, vol. 1 p.
