KNOWLEDGE

-- When a man dies no further reward is recorded for his actions, with three exceptions: Sadqa which continues to be supplied, or knowledge from which benefit continues to be reaped, or the prayers of a good son to his dead father.
(Muslim).
(Sayings of Muhammad. by Prof. Ghazi Ahmad).

-- If anyone removes (one of the) anxieties of this world from a believer, God will remove (one of the) anxieties from him on the Day of Resurrection; if one smoothes the way for one who is destitute, God will smooth the way for him in this world and the next; and if anyone conceals the faults of a Muslim, God will conceal his faults in this world and the next. God helps a man as long as he helps his brother. If anyone pursues a path in search of knowledge God will thereby make easy for him a path to paradise.
(Muslim).
(Sayings of Muhammad. by Prof. Ghazi Ahmad).

-- He who goes out in search of knowledge is in God's path till he returns.
(Tirmidhi, Darimi).
(Sayings of Muhammad. by Prof. Ghazi Ahmad).

-- The search of knowledge is an obligation laid on every Muslim.
(Ibn Majah, Baihaqi).
(Sayings of Muhammad. by Prof. Ghazi Ahmad).

-- The one who would have the worst position in God's sight on the Day of Resurrection would be a learned man who did not profit from his learning.
(Darimi).
(Sayings of Muhammad. by Prof. Ghazi Ahmad).
