Hawzah News Agency- Highlighting the importance of human education and knowledge regarding God's eternal superiority and authority as a major purpose of Creation, Hujjat al-Islam Javad Haeri said, "Human knowledge and wisdom regarding God's might and authority is among major purposes of the Creation of Universe,"

"The value of knowledge and education in Islamic teachings is known to all, No religion in the world has emphasized on the importance of education as much as Islam does,"

He added, " In Quranic perspectives, Those who believe in God and do good deeds are considered worthy people, but those who engage in acquiring knowledge and education are considered even better,"

Secretary General of Mohammadiyah Seminary in Shiraz further said, "The faithful's true value lies in their extend of knowledge and wisdom, surely this knowledge is considered as a pillar of Islam and faith. Furthermore, the true form of knowledge will cause humankind to fear God and his judgment,"

"Knowledge can be obtained through two main paths, one is education and the other is by God's grace and enlightment which is especially bestowed upon true believers and it comes as a result of faith, self-purification and practicing religious principles," the seminary lecturer said."

"Above all formal and academic educational systems, there's a superior form of knowledge and that’s the one which is enlightened by God almighty himself to humankind's hearts; It must be understood that knowledge which does not lead human towards God or felicity in the hereafter is not a true knowledge," he concluded.
