Capacity for learning and understanding and teaching

"Only those of His Servants who are learned truly, fear Allah" (35:28) In Islam therefore, both men and women are credited with the capacity for learning and understanding and teaching, and one of the aims of acquiring knowledge is that of becoming more conscious of Allah. It is considered in Islam that the more a person, male or female, studies the creation and observes its working, the more he or she becomes conscious of the Creator, the Power who made and sustains the creation.
