- Abstract
Holy Quran is the book of All-Mighty Allah. It has revealed the Holy Prophet Muhammad (). By 'development of knowledge' we mean 'promotion', 'advancement' & 'spread' of knowledge. No other book of the world has focused on the spread of knowledge so much as the Holy Quran has. The spread of knowledge and knowledge is the main objective of the Quran. Holy Quran indicates the basic principles of knowledge that lead a human to an examination of the universe and environment, where he can calculate the answers to many questions by his efforts. Holy Quran highlights the importance of knowledge. On one occasion it says, "Can the learned and illiterate be the same status?"Similarly, in another situation, it says that those who do not use their capabilities and intelligence are like animals rather worse than animals and they will be sent to hell. Holy Quran, in itself, is total knowledge and lifelong learning. The very meaning of the word "Quran" that is 'recitation' or 'reading' is related to knowledge. Allah Almighty has revealed it for the main objective of knowledge. Knowledge has a very prominent position in the Quran. The very first revelation was started with the words 'Iqra' (read) and 'Qalam' (pen). The first word that is 'Iqra' is a symbol of 'reading' whereas, the second word that is 'Qalam' is a symbol of 'writing'. The use of both these terms and so many others shows the importance of knowledge in the Holy Quran.
