It is known from the teachings of Islam that seeking knowledge and seeking to understand the
religion is one of the best acts of worship and obedience to Allah. The same is true for studying Quran
and trying to recite and memorize it as much as one can. All of these are among the best acts of
worship.
Allah has given us many ways nowadays that make it easy to seek knowledge without any
hardship and without having to go of the house; that is by means of cassette tapes, the computer and the
internet.
Women - and also men - must follow the right way of acquiring knowledge, starting with what is
easy before embarking on difficult matters. It is also essential to use a balanced approach and not to take
on more than you can handle so that you will not give up.
TIPS FOR SEEKING KNOWLEDGE:
We advise our sisters to do the following:
1. Be Sincere:
Remember, seeking knowledge is an act of worship and Allah will not accept any act of worship
unless it's done sincerely for His sake. Fame, status, wealth, arguing with people or debating with
scholars, are all things that will corrupt the sincerity of the heart. Seek knowledge for the pleasure of
Allah alone, to obey His commands, and to remove ignorance from yourself and others.
2. Memorize Quran:
Do your best to memorize a portion of the Quran on a daily base. Stick to a daily schedule and
memorize a few verses. It may be a good idea to commit to a small daily portion, and do not
increase it even if you find that you have more time and energy on some occasions, for a small deed
that is done regularly is better than a large deed done intermittently.
3. Overall Knowledge:
Read summaries of all branches of knowledge, and leave the detailed works for later. Every branch
of knowledge has books which give a gradual approach, starting with brief discussions and ending
with lengthy and detailed analysis.
Read a little about Tawheed, Hadith, Fiqh and all other branches of knowledge.
