 The Saying Hadith/Hadees of the Holy Prophet [Peace be Upon Him]

 & Acquiring Knowledge

‘It is not necessary for every person
to become an ‘Religious Scholar’ [Aalim] or Faqih. However, every individual
has to attain sufficient knowledge to be able to differentiate between that
which is lawful and unlawful, and to know what the ‘Religious Duty’ Fard/Farz
is is and what is compulsory mandatory/obligatory/ required [Waajib].

To acquire this amount of knowledge is
Fard/Farz-e- ‘Aien upon every Muslim, and to acquire more knowledge than this
is Fard-e-Kifaayah. It has been mentioned in the Hadees/Hadith, that it is
compulsory  Farz upon every Muslim to
acquire knowledge (of Deen).’
