The Attitude of the Quran and the Prophet toward Knowledge
Islam is a religion based upon knowledge for it is ultimately knowledge of the Oneness of God combined with faith and total
commitment to Him that saves man. The text of the Quran is replete with verses inviting man to use his intellect, to ponder, to
think and to know, for the goal of human life is to discover the Truth which is none other than worshipping God in His
Oneness. The Hadith literature is also full of references to the importance of knowledge. Such sayings of the Prophet as
"Seek knowledge even in China", "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave", and "Verily the men of knowledge are the
inheritors of the prophets", have echoed throughout the history of Islam and incited Muslims to seek knowledge wherever it
might be found. During most of its history, Islamic civilization has been witness to a veritable celebration of knowledge. That
is why every traditional Islamic city possessed public and private libraries and some cities like Cordoba and Baghdad boasted
of libraries with over 400,000 books. Such cities also had bookstores, some of which sold a large number of titles. That is
also why the scholar has always been held in the highest esteem in Islamic society.
