Al-Masjid an-Nabawi sermon highlights importance of knowledge

During a Friday sermon at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, Sheikh Dr. Ali bin Abdulrahman Al-Huzaifi spoke on the virtues of knowledge, describing it as a tool that enlightens minds, purifies souls, and builds societies.

Al-Huzaifi emphasized that learning begins in childhood through parents and teachers, who serve as essential role models. He noted that parents bear a great responsibility in guiding the upbringing of children, while schools and teachers are tasked with providing beneficial knowledge and fostering good character.

The sermon highlighted the importance of early religious education and moral development, noting that those who adhere to prayer and noble ethics in their youth are more likely to remain upright as adults. He concluded by encouraging youth to pursue specialized scientific and professional fields—such as medicine, agriculture, engineering, and economics—to meet the diverse needs of society.
