Without knowledge people would be like animals and a city without learning is not worth living in. Al S'adī said:


Al ‘Allāmah Abd al-Ramān bin Nāir al-Saadī رحمة الله عليه said, “Were it not for knowledge, people would be like animals, stumbling in the dark, blindly wandering in misguidance. So  it is the light one is guided by in the midst of compounded darkness and is the life of the hearts and souls, and of the religion and the hereafter.

There is no good in residing in a land that does not contain someone clarifying to people the affairs of their religion and directing them with that which they direly need in those affairs that befall them. Concerning one who imparts such goodness and has such an impact, how could it not be mandatory for every muslim to love and respect them, and to undertake their rights?”
