Quran & hadith study
Quran 20:114 includes a prayer for increased knowledge. Sahih al-Bukhari 71 identifies understanding religion as a good granted by Allah, while the opening verses of Surah al-Alaq connect reading and teaching. These references place learning within worship and reflection; careful study also involves checking sources and distinguishing a text from an explanation of it.
Based on Quran 20:114, Quran 96:1–5 and the hadith references below.
A prayer for growth in knowledge in the context of receiving revelation.
Reading and teaching in the opening verses of Surah al-Alaq.
Muawiyah reports that understanding religion is a sign of good granted by Allah. The narration also distinguishes the Prophet’s role in distributing from Allah’s giving. Its opening statement connects religious understanding with divine favor, providing a reference for study that goes beyond collecting information alone.
Aishah describes the beginning of revelation through truthful dreams and the encounter at Hira. The account continues with Khadijah’s reassurance and her visit with the Prophet Muhammad to Waraqah. It connects the first encounter with the support he received afterward, rather than presenting the event in isolation.
