Summary
Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every person, and Allah raises the ranks of those who have knowledge. According to the hadith in Sahih Muslim narrated by Abu Hurairah, whoever travels a path to seek knowledge has the way to Paradise made easy for him, and gatherings to study the Qur'an receive tranquillity, mercy and the protection of angels. All of these virtues depend on a sincere and correct intention for the sake of Allah.

Berdasarkan soalan di atas, menuntut ilmu merupakan kewajipan dan tuntutan terhadap setiap insan.
