The Importance of Seeking ILM in Islam
قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
“Are those who know equal to those who do not know?” Only those who possess intellect take admonition.
(Surah Az-Zumar, Verse - 9)
In Islam seeking ilm is so important that Allah(S.W.A) has raised the ranks and status of those who have ilm. The sahabahs and ulamaas used to travel from one city to another on foot just to learn one hadith. and has praised them in many places in the Quran. Allah says: “Allah raises of those who believe and those who have been given knowledge many levels.” (Surah Al-Mujadila – Verse 11)
There is a great difference between a Muslim who has ilm and one who does not. The Prophet (ﷺ) described this in his saying: “The excellence of a scholar over another (ordinary) worshipper is like the excellence of the full moon over the rest of the heavenly bodies” (Abu Dawood). He (ﷺ) also said: “The excellence of a scholar over another (ordinary) worshipper is like the excellence of me over the least of you.” (Al-Tirmidthi)
So, we should enroll our kids under the guidance of an Allah-fearing, Mutaqee teacher to learn the Quran Majeed and gain knowledge of the Deen. This way, they can learn about the beautiful religion to which they belong. Parents will be rewarded by Allah if they guide their children to become Alim, Alimah, Hafiz, or Hafiza. A Hafiz will have three generations forgiven, and an Alim will have seven generations forgiven on the Day of Judgment.
