Excellence of Knowledge and Teaching.

[Abu Fauzi]

The Noble Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said: "When Allah desires good for someone, He gives him understanding of the Deen." [Bukhari, Muslim]. He also said: "Allah makes the Way to the Garden (Jannah) easy for whoever treads a path in search of knowledge." [Muslim].

Travelling on the path to knowledge refers to walking along an actual pathway, such as going on foot to assemblies of the Ulama, or following a metaphysical road, like studying and/or memorizing. Knowledge is a short path to Allah... whoever travels the road of knowledge reaches Allah [Azzah Wa Jallah] and Jannah by the shortest route. Knowledge also clears the way out of darkness, ignorance, doubt and skepticism. That is why Allah called His Book, "Light".
