The topic is knowledge.
On knowledge there is a very nice hadith that is,
Anas (Allah is pleased with him) relates that prophet (Pbuh) said:-
The seeking of knowledge is an obligatory duty on every Muslim man and every Muslim woman.
(Ibn Majah)
Commentary: Through knowledge one can understand more about right and wrong. Knowledge makes one a better human being. It helps him or her make use of things in a beneficial manner. It makes his or her life easier, happier and more fruitful.
In Islam, knowledge includes the proper knowledge of Din such as Quran and Hadith, as well as the general knowledge of all other useful subjects such as math, science, language etc.
So, we should seek knowledge, put our knowledge to useful practice and teach others.
There is hadith on knowledge that tells us the significance of seeking knowledge in this life:
Abu Huraira (Allah is pleased with him) reported:-
The Messenger of Allah (Pbuh) said, “when a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity): a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).”
(Muslim)
Commentary: Here the hadith mentioned “His deeds come to an end” that means he/she does not any longer receive the return and reward on his/her actions. But there are three categories of actions on which he/she receives reward even after his/her death.
Among these three categories second one is “beneficial knowledge” For example:-
Someone who is a believer of Islam, wrote books, delivered speech, established educational institute where beside all other necessary education like mathematics, science, language, geography, history etc. Quran and sunnah is also being taught.
Reward for this type of activities has got no end even after death till the day of resurrection.
