The importance of knowledge in fighting destructive ideas


.....

There is no doubt that knowledge is the key to all good and the means to fulfill the Ordinances of Allah and abstain from what He has forbidden. Actions come after having knowledge, for those whom Allah has granted success. Knowledge supports the determination to do good, because there is no Iman (faith), action, or striving except based on knowledge. Words and actions which are not based on knowledge are worthless and may incur bad consequences and great corruption.
