Dear Brothers and Sisters!
Learning the truth and having someone to teach it, are matters of immense importance. It was our beloved Prophet (saw) who taught us the truths of our faith in their entirety. One day, the Messenger of Allah (saw) entered the mosque and came upon two groups: one was reciting the Qur'an and making dua, while the other was learning and teaching knowledge. After affirming that both groups were engaged in goodness, he said of the circle of knowledge, “These people are learning knowledge and teaching it. I was sent only as a teacher.”[1] He then sat among them. In doing so, he made clear that he had been sent to teach us our religion, both as a Prophet and as a teacher.
