Ilm and Hiqmat / Knowledge and Wisdom:

Knowledge means knowing, which depends on education.

Knowledge is a power,by which everything can be known. Distinction can be made between truth and false, “Imaan” and “kufor”good and bad by knowledge only. A king or a ruler is honoured only in his country,whereas a wise and learned man honoured all over the World. The first revelation that came to the Prophet Mohammed (saw) was Iqra i.e.read; its significance is to acquire knowledge. To acquire knowledge is the first and foremost duty of a Muslim before  beginning  his intial prayer. We are not so eager to acquire knowledge on Islam, Alquran and hadith as much as we are eager to acquire knowledge to lead our prosperous life in this World. It is forbidden to seek knowledge that diverts us from the way Allah and attracts towerds evil deeds. It is obligatory duty for every male and female Muslim acquire preliminary knowledge about Islam,Imaan,Salat,Zakat,Jihad,Kufr,Bidat etc also. So that one can know Allah(God),His commands,establish prayer,distinguish between Imaan and Kufr,Halal amd haram(legal and iligale),Praise be to Allah who has given us Ilm and Hiqmat (Knowledge and Wisdom)
