To look for information is a hallowed obligation, it is compulsory on each Muslim, male and female. The primary word uncovered of the Qur?an was "Iqra" READ! Look for information! Teach yourselves! Be instructed.

Surah Al-Zumar, verse 9, presents: "Are they equal, do they know and who does not have the light?" Surah Al-Baqarah, ayah 269 uncovers: "Allah awards intelligence to whom He satisfies and to whom shrewdness is conceded without a doubt he gets a flooding advantage."

Hundreds of years old government, expansionism and the severe principle of their own kin have realized good and otherworldly degeneration of Muslims all through the world. To recover them from this degeneration, it is about this time that the Muslim Ummah rebuilds its identification with Islamic lines, which meet the current demands as well. By temperance of such an instructive program, the people in the future will turn into the light bearers of Islamic qualities and assume a viable job in the current world. The difficulties of present day times call for reconstructing the structure of our instructive program on such an establishment as to satisfy our otherworldly just as impermanent commitments. Today we need instruction framework which can deliver, what the late Sayyid Abul A?la Mawdudi stated, "Muslim savant, Muslim researcher, Muslim financial specialist, Muslim legal adviser, Muslim legislator, in a word, Muslim specialists in all fields of information who might remake the social request as per the principles of Islam."

The Muslims today are the most mortified network on the planet. Also, should they continue following a similar instructive program as given by their pioneer aces, they won't have the option to recuperate themselves from good and profound wantonness.

Ibn Mas?ud (Allah be satisfied with him) revealed that the Messenger of Allah (S) stated: The situation of just two people is fortunate; the individual whom Allah offered riches enabling him to spend it in the method for uprightness, and the individual whom Allah gave insight with which he pronounces and which he instructs to other people.

As indicated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah, Ibn Abbas (Allah be satisfied with him) portrayed that the Messenger of Allah (S) stated: A solitary researcher of religion is more considerable against shaytaan than a thousand sincere people.

Islam is our most prominent blessing. We must be appreciative for this blessing. We need to render to Allah His due. Allah has given us such a great amount by making us a piece of the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad (S) so we should absolutely submit ourselves as devotees of the Prophet (S). We should turn out to be genuine Muslims.

Presently how might we become Muslims in the genuine feeling of the word? First let?s characterize what a Muslim is. A Muslim is definitely not a Muslim essentially on the grounds that he?s brought into the world one. A Muslim is a Muslim since he is a supporter of Islam, a submitter to the Will of Allah. We?re Muslim in the event that we intentionally and purposely acknowledge what has been educated by the Prophet Muhammad (S) and act appropriately. In any case we?re false Muslims.

The first and most critical commitment on us is to secure information and also to rehearse and lecture this information. No man turns out to be genuinely a Muslim without knowing the significance of Islam, since he turns into a Muslim not through birth however through information. Except if we come to know the fundamental and vital lessons of the Prophet Muhammad (S) how might we have confidence in him, have confidence in him, act as per what he instructed? It is unthinkable for us to be a Muslim, and simultaneously live in a condition of numbness.

It is fundamental to comprehend that the best endowment of Allah ? for which we are so over whelmed with appreciation ? relies essentially upon information. Without information one can?t really get Allah?s endowment of Islam. On the off chance that our insight is nearly nothing, at that point we will continually risk losing that heavenly blessing, which we have gotten except if we stay cautious in our battle against numbness.

An individual without information resembles somebody strolling along a track in complete murkiness. In all likelihood his means will meander aside and he effectively can be bamboozled by shaytaan. This shows our most serious threat lies in our obliviousness of Islamic lessons and in our ignorance of what the Qur?an instructs and what direction has been given by the Prophet (S). Be that as it may, on the off chance that we are honored with the light of information we will have the option to see obviously the make way of Islam at each progression of our lives. We will likewise have the option to recognize and maintain a strategic distance from the perilous ways of Kufr, Shirk and corruption, which may cross it. Furthermore, at whatever point a bogus guide meets us in transit, a couple of words with him will rapidly build up that he isn't a guide who ought to be followed.

On this information depends whether our kids and we are genuine Muslims and stay genuine Muslims. It is consequently not a minor to be dismissed. We don't disregard doing whatever is fundamental to improve our exchanges and callings. Since we realize that on the off chance that we do disregard, we will starve to death thus lose the valuable endowment of life. Why at that point would it be a good idea for us to be careless in procuring that information on which depends whether we become Muslims and remain Muslims? Does such carelessness not involve the peril of losing a considerably progressively valuable blessing ? our Iman? Isn't Iman more valuable than life itself? A large portion within recent memory and work is spent on things, which support our physical presence in this life. For what reason can we not spend even a tenth piece within recent memory and vitality on things, which are important to ensure our Iman, which just can support us in the current life and in the life to come? It isn't important to concentrate widely to turn into a Muslim. We ought to in any event go through around one hour out of twenty-four hours of the day and night in securing the information on this Deen, the lifestyle, the Islam.

All of us, youthful or old, man or lady, ought to in any event obtain adequate information to empower ourselves to comprehend the quintessence of the lessons of the Qur?an and the reason for which it has been sent down. We ought to likewise have the option to see obviously the crucial, our darling Prophet (S) came into this world to satisfy. We ought to likewise perceive the degenerate request and framework, which he came to pulverize. We ought to familiarize ourselves, as well, with the lifestyle which Allah has appointed for us.

No incredible measure of time is required to get this basic information. On the off chance that we really esteem Iman, it can't be too hard to even think about finding one hour consistently to commit for our Iman.

Information is distinguished in Islam as love. The procuring of information is revere, perusing the Qur?an and contemplating upon it is adore, venturing out to pick up information is love. The act of information is associated with morals and profound quality ? with advancing uprightness and fighting bad habit, ordering right and denying incorrectly. This is brought in the Qur?an: amr bil-l ma?ruuf wa nah-y ?ani-l munkar.

In addition to the fact that we should look for information, however when we learn it, it gets mandatory on us to rehearse it. Despite the fact that we should recall that right information should precede right activity. Information without activity is futile in light of the fact that an educated individual without activity will be the most noticeably awful of animals on the Day of Resurrection. Additionally, activity ought not be founded on daze impersonation for this isn't the nature of a reasoning, reasonable person.

Information is sought after and polished with unobtrusiveness and quietude and prompts excellence and poise, opportunity and equity.

The principle motivation behind procuring information is to carry us closer to God. It isn't just for the delight of the brain or the faculties. It isn't information for information or science for the estimation of purpose. Information in like manner must be connected with qualities and objectives.

One of the reasons for procuring information is to pick up the benefit of this world, not to obliterate it through wastage, pomposity and in the wild quest for better expectations of material solace.

Another reason for information is to spread opportunity and nobility, truth and equity. It isn't to pick up force and predominance for the wellbeing of its own.

Clearly, what we may call the supply of information is profound and significant. It is an immense and open field that isn't constrained.

It is outlandish for anybody to pick up anything over a small amount of what there is to know in the limited capacity to focus one?s life. We should hence choose what is generally significant for us to know and how to approach getting this information.

The accompanying ahadith shows how significant and how remunerating information is.

"The one who collects information guarantees a lot." AND "If anyone is looking for information, God will make him a simple way to go to paradise in this way."

We, the youngsters, are what's to come. The future lies in our grasp, however just through information since whoever dismisses learning in youth, loses the past and is dead for what's to come.

May Allah (SWT) invigorate us to carry on and act similarly as He prefers us to do and be satisfied with us, and that ought to be the reason for our lives. Rabbi zidnee ilma (O Lord, increment us in information). Aameen.
