Aalimah Program: Carrying the Legacy of Prophethood ﷺ

Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make the path to Jannah easy for her.

 — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ
"Indeed, only those fear Allah from among His servants who have knowledge." 

(Surah Fatir: 28)

يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ
"Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees." 

(Surah Al-Mujadila: 11)
