The dictionary meaning of knowledge is to
be aware and to know. Knowledge is a gift of God to human
being. This is a kind of treasure which increases by
consuming. Think, what kind of wealth you would like to
have? One kind of wealth is that a person has a huge
amount of money, marvelous buildings, bank balance and a
good deal of power etc. On the other hand, wealth of
knowledge, such a wealth which could retract a spoiled
person, never ends and which remains with human beings in
every situation. It enables a person to maintain his
status in the society. Again it’s a source of success in
this world and hereafter, nobody can steal it and no one
can destroy it. Almighty God has bestowed education with
highest prestige. The first revelation of God on Hazrat
Muhammad (P.B.U.H) at the cave of HIRA was, “Read!
In the Name of your Lord, Who created, created man from a
clot. Read! and your Lord is the Most bountiful, (he who
taught) the use of pen taught man which he knew not.” (Al-Qur'an
96:1-3)
Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) says, “Getting education is
obligatory for each Muslim male and female. In this way,
it was privileged by (P.B.U.H) upon a time when people
were unaware of the importance of knowledge. People in
that time would consider it a sin to get their females
educated, while males were given much importance and all
of their desires were fulfilled. There were such kinds of
people as well who felt guilty when a female child was
born at their homes and in most of the cases they used to
bury the new born baby. Our beloved Prophet (P.B.U.H) took
them out of the great ignorance and taught them that
females were not inferior to males rather they deserved to
be respected, He S.A.W gave right of education and an
appropriate share of property of parents to females.
Because of the great knowledge of Adam (A.S) Angels bowed
in front of him, and another saying of (P.B.U.H) reads
“Best person among you is that who learned Holy Quran and
taught to others".
Quran Sharif is dictum of Almighty God and human being is
the subject of Quran Shareef. In Quran not only Namaz and
Roza have been taught us but also all the people have been
given direction of living irrespective of the age and
epoch.
It tells us
that the best source of knowledge is the Holy Quran which
we put in the drawers instead of reading. After the above
discussion I have come to the conclusion that nothing is
better than knowledge in this world and knowledge is
superior to all other thing what so ever, therefore, it’s
recommended that as for as possible light of knowledge
should be spread around the country . Government and NGO's
must make appropriate programs to expand sphere of
education acro
