Quran, The most holy book of Muslims is full of verses which show importance of knowledge in our lives. The very first verse of Quran revealed on Prophet SAW was “Iqra” (read), the verse was not only addressed to the Prophet SAW but also to the whole mankind. Allah says in Quran:
“Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists). He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen. He has taught man that which he knew not” [al-‘Alaq 96:1-5]
About 14 years ago Quran highlighted the importance of pen when the illiterate people of Arab was not familiar with the basic human needs. The desire of knowledge is one of the best desire. Allah (Most Exalted is He) instructed His Prophet -- and thus all Muslims -- to ask Allah to increase him in knowledge. He said:
"And say: My Lord increase me in knowledge."
(Qur'an, Ta-Ha 20:114)
