According to the Statement of Allah تعالى: "So know (O Muhammad ﷺ) that La ilaha illallah... (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)," (V.47:19) So Allah stated that one should acquire knowledge first. And religious scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets, i.e., they inherit knowledge. And whoever gains knowledge is lucky and gains a great thing. And whoever followed a way to seek (religious) knowledge, Allah جل جلاله will make easy for him the way to Paradise. Allah تعالى said, "... It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah..." (V.35:28) And Allah said, "... But none will understand them except those who have knowledge." (V.29:43). (And also Allah’s Statement): "And they will say: Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire." (V.67:10) And Allah تعالى also said, "... Are those who know equal to those who know not?..." (V.39:9) And the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ said, “If Allah wants to do good to a person, He makes him comprehend the religion and verily, knowledge is attained by learning.” Abu Dhar, pointing towards his neck, said, “If you put the sword on this (my neck to kill me) and then I think that, before this sword could work, I can say even one sentence which I heard from the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ, I would surely say it. (Indicating that one should convey the knowledge that one has acquired to others).” And Ibn ‘Abbas said, “You should be Rabbaniyyin (religious scholars) forgiving, wise, and learned men.” And it is said that a Rabbaniy (religious scholar) is the one who starts teaching people simple subjects of knowledge before touching big (difficult) ones.
