Cure for Ignorance


The most important cure for ignorance is to inquire and acquire knowledge. Allah(swt) made the Qur’aan and the Sunnah as limits regarding religious matters.
Allah(swt) says: "These are the limits (set by) Allah, and whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger  will be admitted to gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), to abide therein, and that will be the great success. And, whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger  and transgresses His limits He will cast him in the Fire, to abide therein; and he shall have a disgraceful torment." [Surat An-Nisa (4): 13-14]

Allah reminds us the main purpose of the creation of mankind saying:

"I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me." [Surat Az-Zariyat (51): 56]

These verses clarify the fact that Allah(swt) wants us to worship Him(swt) alone, and that this worship should be completely based upon what He(swt) revealed to the Prophet(PBUH).Knowledge is the factor that allows us to gain the correct and necessary understanding of the Quran and Sunnah.
