Seeking knowledge
Abu-Darda (RA) reported: Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said. “He who follows a path in quest of knowledge, Allah will make the path of Jannah easy for him. The angels lower their wings over the seeker of knowledge, being pleased with what he does. The inhabitants of the heavens and the earth and even the fish in the oceans seek forgiveness for him. The superiority of the learned man over the devout worshipper is like the full moon to the rest of the stars (in brightness). The learned are the heirs of the Prophets who bequeath neither dinar nor dirham (wealth) but only that of knowledge; and he who acquires it, has in fact acquired an abundant portion.” (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi)
