Learn and Seek Knowledge While You Are Alive

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

As long as you are still breathing, do not stop seeking knowledge. This is the most lucrative job.

Imam Abu Amr al Basri, one of the imams of the 10 ways of Quran recitation (Qiraat 'Asharah), was known as the scholar 'al amilin (scholar who practiced his knowledge). He would complete the recitation of the entire Quran every 3 days. He had the most teachers. When asked when is the best time should a person learn/seek knowledge? he replied: "It is best to learn/seek knowledge while he is alive."

May Allah increase us in knowledge and make the path to Paradise easy for us. Aameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Wassalaam
