Knowledge  
     
1. Narrated by the humble servant of One Islam, whose name means al-Haqq from Allah’s Apostle in vision, saying: “All that a pure believer needs is within the True and Holy Qur’an. This is the first. Honor the sacred deed (constitution) of One Islam second. Respect these authentic Hadith of Allah's Apostle and no other is the third. Finally, honor all other sacred scripture that respects Allah as one who loves all life, peace and wisdom. Never raise false sayings and false scripture above these four things.”  
2. The Prophet said, “Knowledge is not found in lists but in the understanding of the connection of things. Spiritual wisdom cannot be found through memorizing lists.”
 
3. The Prophet said, “Any saying (Hadith) which claims that in Islam knowledge and science is a sin and ignorance is a virtue is a wicked lie by someone who worships demons pretending to be god and who cloak themselves as Muslims but worship anarchy.”
 
4.

The Prophet said, “Stand up! Stand up all who claim to follow the path of Islam! Do not dishonor Allah, nor his sacred places by weakness. Let not one false teacher or scholar defile the true teachings of His humble servant. Let not a single sermon praising ignorance and hate stand in any sacred house of Allah. If such ignorance and evil is not moved, then you must do everything in your power to honor knowledge and wisdom and remove them.”  

 
5. The Prophet said, “To be a true Muslim, the seeking of knowledge is obligatory. If one does not know how to discern, then one is not yet a true Muslim.”
 
6.

The Prophet said, “The first step towards knowledge and honoring the will of Allah is to denounce ignorance.”

 
7.

The Prophet said, “Knowledge without character is a most dangerous state. All knowledge should be harnessed through self-discipline and virtue .”

 
8.

The Prophet said, “Verily, It is commanded to you by Allah upon the witness of any person who claims to be Muslim who preaches ignorance, who despises knowledge and science; seize them and cast them out. Never let such evil defile a holy mosque. They are imposters.”
