Seeking knowledge is obligatory

Friday, July 11, 2025

طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ
Transliteration

Talabu-l-ilmi faridatun ala kulli muslim.

Translation

Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.

Narrated by Anas ibn Malik·Sunan Ibn Majah 224
Reflection

Not on every scholar, not on every man. On every Muslim. The obligation is to learn enough to worship correctly, before any specialisation.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
