Quran verses about Knowledge

العلم

95 verses in 31 surahs · 15 subtopics

Knowledge is acquired through teaching and learning, these verses show; it raises the rank of those who possess it, leads to faith and obliges one to act as it requires. They censure arguing without knowledge, value understanding (fiqh), and recall what Allah has kept to His own knowledge, as well as how little knowledge man has been given.

Al-Qasas28:77

وَٱبْتَغِ فِيمَآ ءَاتَىٰكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَأَحْسِن كَمَآ أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ وَلَا تَبْغِ ٱلْفَسَادَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ۝٧٧

But seek, through that which Allāh has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allāh has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allāh does not like corrupters."
