Urwan ibn Zubair narrated that ‘Aishah (RA) said:” A man sought permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah (SAW). So the Messenger said, ‘Permit him, what an evil brother of his tribe he is, - or (he said) what an evil son of the tribe. Then when the man entered, the Messenger (SAW) spoke politely to him. I said,’ O Messenger of Allah, you said what you said about him, then you spoke politely to him? He said,’ O ‘Aishah! Indeed, among the evilest of people are those whom the people avoid, or who the people leave, fearing his filthy speech.’”

Our Prophet (SAW) said:” Knowledge, enables the possessor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way of heaven; it is our friend in the desert, our companion when friendless; it guides us to happiness; it sustains us in misery, it is our ornament amongst friends and an armor against enemies.”

Allah (SWT) said:” O my Lord! Advance me in knowledge.” (Qur’an 20: 114)

The very first word in Islam is the word “Read” (Qur’an 96:1), a very important and valuable word in education and training. This is the very first command given to Prophet Muhammad (SAW), a man who did not know how to read but who afterward rose to the pinnacle of educatedness and wisdom. It is this first word that spurred him to show people the importance of knowledge and skills in life.
