What does the Qur'an say about seeking knowledge?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 20:114 Hasten not with the Qur'an ere its revelation hath been perfected unto thee, and say: MY LORD, INCREASE ME IN KNOWLEDGE. In because it is the only prayer for knowledge in the Qur'an, it is put in the Prophet's own mouth, and it arrives attached to an instruction to slow down.
  2. 02 16:43 And We sent not before thee other than men whom We inspired - ASK THE FOLLOWERS OF THE REMEMBRANCE IF YE KNOW NOT. In because it instructs the reader to ask people who know, and the people named are outside the immediate community.
  3. 03 21:7 And We sent not before thee other than men whom We inspired - ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not. In because it repeats 16:43 word for word in another surah, which makes it a settled instruction rather than a local remark.
  4. 04 58:11 God will exalt those who believe among you, AND THOSE WHO HAVE KNOWLEDGE, to high ranks. In because it is the only verse assigning rank on the basis of knowledge. ALSO CARRIED by the study Are those who know and those who don't equal in the Qur'an?, with a different reason there.
  5. 05 12:76 We exalt in degree whom We will, AND OVER EVERY LORD OF KNOWLEDGE THERE IS ONE MORE KNOWING. This verse says God exalts in degree whom He will, and that over every lord of knowledge there is one more knowing.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

Five verses, and the first of them is the whole of the Qur'an's positive instruction on this.

20:114 contains the only prayer in the book asking for knowledge: MY LORD, INCREASE ME IN KNOWLEDGE. What surrounds it is worth as much as the prayer. The Prophet is told NOT TO HURRY with the Qur'an before its revelation is complete - and then to say this. The instruction to slow down and the request for more come in one sentence.

16:43 and 21:7 give the same instruction twice, in identical words: ASK THE FOLLOWERS OF THE REMEMBRANCE IF YE KNOW NOT. The remedy for not knowing is to ask someone who does.

58:11 is the only verse that ranks by knowledge, and 12:76 is the one that keeps that ranking honest: OVER EVERY LORD OF KNOWLEDGE THERE IS ONE MORE KNOWING. The study Are those who know and those who don't equal in the Qur'an? dropped that verse and recommended restoring it; it is restored here, in the study whose subject it actually is.

What is NOT in the Qur'an is the very large body of exhortation about seeking knowledge that most readers will have met - the obligation on every Muslim, the journey in search of it, the ink of the scholar. All of that is , and no hadith collection has cleared the rights audit. A reader arriving here expecting it should be told plainly where it lives.

Twelve verses were dropped, almost all of them matched on the word ASK in ordinary requests. That probe over-returned and was tightened.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 20:114, widening across 5 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 5 passages, each with every cleared translation

5 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

(Αν εσείς, ω, άπιστοι, λέτε ότι ο Αλλάχ δε θα έστελνε έναν άνθρωπο ως Αγγελιαφόρο), ρωτήστε λοιπόν εκείνους των προηγούμενων Θείων Βιβλίων (της Τοράς και του Ιν-τζήλ -του πρωτότυπου Ευαγγελίου του Ιησού- αν οι Αγγελιαφόροι που έστειλε ο Αλλάχ πριν ήταν άνθρωποι ή Άγγελοι) αν δε γνωρίζετε!

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

O ye who believe! when it is said unto you, Make room! in assemblies, then make room; Allah will make way for you (hereafter). And when it is said, Come up higher! go up higher; Allah will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have knowledge, to high ranks. Allah is Informed of what ye do

Edward Henry Palmer published 1880

O ye who believe! when it is said to you, 'Make room in your assemblies,' then make room; God will make room for you; and when it is said to you, 'Rise up,' then rise up; God will raise all you who believe, as well as those who are given knowledge, in rank; for God of what ye do is well aware

O ju që besoni! Kur ju thuhet “Bëni vend” nëpër ndeja, atëherë bëni vend, se Allahu do t’ju bëjë vend juve. E, kur ju thuhet “Ngrihuni”, atëherë ngrihuni, se Allahu do t'i ngrejë ata që besojnë nga mesi juaj dhe ata që u është dhënë dija në shkallë të lartë. Allahu di mirë gjithçka që bëni.

হে মুমিনগণ! তোমাদেরকে যখন বলা হয়, ‘মজলিসে স্থান প্রশস্ত করে দাও’, তখন তোমরা স্থান প্রশস্ত করে দিও। আল্লাহ তোমাদের জন্য (ইহকাল ও পরকালে) প্রশস্ততা দান করবেন। আর যখন বলা হয়, ‘তোমরা উঠে যাও’, তখন তোমরা উঠে যাবে। আল্লাহ তোমাদের মধ্যে যারা ঈমান এনেছে এবং যাদেরকে জ্ঞান দান করা হয়েছে, তাদের মর্যাদা বহু স্তরে উন্নীত করবেন। আর তোমরা যা কিছু করো, আল্লাহ সে সম্পর্কে সম্যক অবহিত।

Ai filloi (kontrollimin) nga barrët e tyre para barrës së vëllait të vet (Benjaminit) e më pas e nxori atë nga barra e të vëllait. Kështu i mësuam këtë hile Jusufit, sepse ai nuk do të mund ta merrte vëllanë e vet sipas ligjit të mbretit, përveçse me vullnetin e Allahut. Ne i ngremë në shkallë të lartë ata që duam nga robërit Tanë dhe mbi çdo të ditur ka edhe më të ditur.

তারপর সে তার (আপন) ভাইয়ের পাত্রের পূর্বে তাদের (সৎ ভাইদের) পাত্রগুলো দিয়ে তল্লাশি শুরু করলো। তারপর সেটি তার (আপন) ভাইয়ের পাত্র থেকে বের করলো। এভাবে আমি ইউসুফের জন্য কৌশল করলাম।(২২) আল্লাহর ইচ্ছা ছাড়া বাদশাহর আইনে সে তার ভাইকে রেখে দিতে পারত না। আমি যাকে ইচ্ছা তার মর্যাদা উঁচু করে দেই এবং প্রত্যেক জ্ঞানীর ওপর রয়েছে একজন মহাজ্ঞানী।

Da begann er (zunächst) in ihren Behältern (zu suchen) vor dem Behälter seines Bruders. Hierauf holte er es aus dem Behälter seines Bruders hervor. Auf diese Weise führten Wir für Yusuf eine List aus. Nach dem Gesetz des Königs hätte es ihm nicht zugestanden, seinen Bruder (als Sklaven) zu nehmen, außer dass Allah es wollte.

Έτσι σχεδιάσαμε για τον Ιωσήφ (το να ρωτήσουν τα αδέλφια του ποια είναι η τιμωρία του κλέφτη στη θρησκεία τους), διαφορετικά δε θα μπορούσε να κρατήσει τον αδελφό του σύμφωνα με το νόμο του βασιλιά (που τιμωρεί τον κλέφτη με το χτύπημα και το να πληρώσει τη διπλάσια αξία του κλεμμένου), εκτός αν το ήθελε ο Αλλάχ.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it6 of the 7 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 20:114, 16:43, 21:7, 58:11, 12:76, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - increase + me + knowledge; my + lord + increase; ask + those + who + know; people + remembrance + ask; exalt + those + knowledge. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

What was returned and not carried. 12 verse(s) the search qualified are recorded as not carried with a reason each, rather than silently discarded: 2:273 - matched on 'travel'; the subject is charity; 3:135 - matched on 'ask'; 9:6 - protection of an idolater seeking safety; 9:93 - matched on 'ask'; 11:47 - on-topic and striking - Noah withdrawing a request. 11:52 - carried by the study What does the Qur'an say about turning to God after wrong rather than despairing?; 11:63 - Salih's preamble; 14:7 - carried by the study What does the Qur'an say about gratitude?; 33:50 - matched incidentally; 60:10 - a procedural rule; 71:21 - Noah's complaint; 71:28 - Noah's prayer.

Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.

Correction record, 2026-09-17. At 12:76, a note about how the verse came to be in this study, naming another study that does not carry it, was removed. The verses shown and their translations are unchanged.
