Reading and seeking knowledge is the command of Allah for the faithful, which removes ignorance, enlightens the mind, purifies the soul and transform the individual.
Knowledge excites, reinforces beliefs and convictions as well as challenges mindsets and paradigms. Therefore having a zeal to study is essential for the development of the individual and society.
