It is reported - but Allah knows best - that the Prophet Muhammad - may peace be upon him - said, "Acquire knowledge. It enables its possesor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to Heaven; it is our friend in the desert, our society in solitude, our companion when friendless, it guides us to happiness; it sustains us in misery; it is an ornament amongst friends; and an armour against enemies.
