Importance of Education in Islam

Iqra bismi rabbi-ka alladhi khalaq, i.e. read in the name of your Lord who created (the Holy Quran, 95:1).
It is very common belief that this was the first verse which was revealed to Prophet Mohammad (sw) in the cave of HIRA. It is apparently clear that Allah begins his conversation with Prophet (sw) with this particular word “IQRA”. This word in arabic means READ. Normally if anyone wants to start conversation with someone first time, he generally start with the notion “listen or see” but here Allah directly said IQRA. Wallahalam whatever be the circumstances but Allah stressed out the importance of reading.  Similarly Prophet said “Acquire knowledge for that you even if you have to go to China”. Islam stressed upon learning and studying from very beginning because only after learning the various phenomenon of nature and society you will able to understand the ayats (signs) of Allah (swt). In this introduction there is no need to explain the importance of education. We can say that educated individuals are fundamental need to develop spiritually healthy and morally correct society.

Malala is the inspiration for thousands of poor children

In other tradition, when Hazrat Adam (A.S.) was created, Allah S.W.T. said to the angels to bow down. Everybody bowed down except Iblis. The reason Iblis refused to bow down was because he said that Nabi Adam (A.S.) was made of clay and he was made from fire. How can fire bow down to clay? The angels looked at it in a different way. They looked at the inside of Nabi Adam (A.S.) because Allah S.W.T. gave knowledge to Nabi Adam (A.S.). So we can say that if knowledge is given to even clay than clay become superior to angels.
