EDUCATION
-----------
A wise man was once asked: "Which thing is to be hoarded?" He replied: "That thing which will remain with you even if your boat capsizes, that is knowledge."

The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "If a man seeks the path of acquiring knowledge, Allah guides him to a path leading to Paradise." He said: "Angels spread their wings out of cheer for the seeker of knowledge." He said: "To rise up at dawn and learn a section of knowledge is better for you than to pray one hundred Rak'ats." He said: "If a man learns a chapter of knowledge, it is better than the world and its contents."
