1.About this video
This new short on the Razia Azeem Official channel is about ilm — knowledge — and its rank in Islam. The very first word Allah revealed to the Prophet ﷺ was “Iqra” — Read (Quran 96:1). Before prayer, before fasting, before any other command, the Quran's first order was to learn. That alone tells us the status of knowledge in our deen.
2.Key reflections
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim” (Sunan Ibn Majah 224). He also promised: “Whoever travels a path seeking knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise” (Sahih Muslim 2699). And in another narration, the angels lower their wings in approval for the seeker of knowledge, and the scholars are described as the heirs of the prophets (Sunan Abi Dawud 3641). Knowledge is not just information — it is an act of worship, a road to Paradise, and the inheritance of the prophets. For parents, this is a reminder to invest early in their children's Quranic and Islamic learning.
