The Importance of Attending Sessions of Knowledge

Sitra Abdosh

Since the establishment of Markaz Al-Hidaya, we have been lucky to have a place that serves our community for many purposes. It is a place where we, Melbournian Hararis, can gather to preserve the richness of our Harari traditions and share knowledge. Through interacting with our elders and the younger generations, the Markaz has no doubt brought about many benefits for our Melbourne community.

The biggest benefit of the Markaz is that it is a place for the teaching of Islamic Knowledge. Amidst the rush of our daily lives, the Markaz serves to ground ourselves and reminds us of our true purpose in this life.

Learning religious knowledge is an obligation for every accountable Muslim. In the hereafter, we will all be asked whether we have acquired this knowledge. Allah emphasised the importance of seeking religious knowledge in the Quran.

Allah Ta^aala says in Surat al-Mujaadilah, Verse 11:

Which means: “Allah raises the rank of those among you who believed and acquired the knowledge”
