And he the prophet (pbuh) said too * To listen to the words of the learned and to instil into the lessons of science is better than religious exercises. * Acquire knowledge; it enables the possessor to distinguish right from wrong; it guides us to happiness; it sustains us in misery; it is an ornament among friends, and an armour against enemies. * Go in search of knowledge even into China. * Excessive knowledge is better than excessive praying. * Whoso honours the learned, honours me. * One learned man is harder on the devil than a thousand ignorant worshippers. * The superiority of a learned man over an ignorant worshipper is like that of the full moon over all the stars. * People are like mines of gold and silver. The more excellent of them in Islam are those who attain knowledge. * Knowledge is maintained only through teaching. * The learned ones are the heirs of the prophets. They have knowledge as their inheritance; and he who inherits it, he inherits a great fortune. * The only cure for ignorance is to ask. * One scholar has more power over the devil than a thousand devout men.
