An article in English in which Dr. Saleh As-Saleh shows the categories of people in benefitting the Islamic knowledge as Imam Ibn Al-Qayyem explained the Prophetic hadith, “The guidance and knowledge with which God has commissioned me are like abundant rain which fell on some ground. Part of it was good, and absorbing the water, it brought forth abundant herbage and pasture; and there were some bare patches in it which retained the water by which God gave benefit to men, who drank, gave drink and sowed seed. But some of it fell on another portion which consisted only of hollows which could not retain the water or produce herbage. That is like the one who becomes versed in God’s religion and receives benefit from the message entrusted to me by God, so he knows for himself and teaches others ; and it is like the one who does not show regard to that and does not accept God’s guidance with which I have been commissioned.”

Islam is a religion based on knowledge. It encourages people to seek knowledge in each and every useful field. Allah said: "Recite in the name of your Lord who created - created man from a clinging substance. Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous - Who taught by the pen - Taught man that which he knew not." Quran (96:1-5). Ever since the advent of Islam, Muslims have excelled in research development and inventing. They have carried the torch of enlightenment for many centuries. They have made significant progress in many scientific fields. They were the first to use algebra. They invented the Arabic numerals. Also, they contributed in developing some of the instruments such as the astrolabe, the quadrant, and the navigational maps. In medicine, Muslim physicians paid a lot of attention to surgery and developed many surgical instruments.
