Seeking Knowledge
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” (Ibn Majah)

Whether you’re in a school building, learning at home, or soaking up life lessons outside the classroom, every day is an opportunity to grow in knowledge and faith. The start of a new learning season is a perfect time to make a small, consistent intention—read one ayah a day, memorize a short duʿa, or learn a new sunnah.

Choose one thing you want to learn this week and take the first step today. Even tiny seeds can grow into towering trees. 🌱
