Knowledge - MUHAMMAD

Acquire knowledge. It enables its possessor 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 among friends and an armor against enemies.

MUHAMMAD (A.D. 570? - 632), The Sayings of Muhammad, 290, tr. Abdullah Al-Suhrawardy, 1941.
