I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said:
[quote]"The learned are heirs of the prophets, and the prophets do not leave any inheritance in the form of (monetary wealth), but they do leave knowledge as their legacy. A person who acquires knowledge, acquires his full share (of this legacy)."[/quote]

[quote][big]"The seeking of knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim."[/big][/quote]

Knowledge is that which benefits, not that which is memorized. I learned that Knowledge doesn't come to me, rather I have to seek it. Knowledge makes people humble. Arrogance makes people ignorant.

[Quran 20:114]
[quote]"O my Lord, increase me in knowledge"[/quote]

And yet, like all religions, it depends on willful ignorance by people who want to be told what to do.
