﷽

"

He who follows a path in quest of knowledge, Allah will make the path of Jannah easy to him.

The angels lower their wings over the seeker of knowledge, being pleased with what he does.

The inhabitants of the heavens and the earth and even the fish in the depth of the oceans seek forgiveness for him.

The superiority of the learned man over the devout worshipper is like that of the full moon to the rest of the stars (i.e., in brightness).

The learned are the heirs of the Prophets who bequeath neither dinar nor dirham but only that of knowledge; and he who acquires it, has in fact acquired an abundant portion.

Prophet Muhammad

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]

The story of

Acquiring Knowledge

Established in 2015, Acquiring Knowledge is a platform created with the sole purpose of restoring the Muslim Ummah to greatness by encouraging the Muslim youth to rise to excellence, following in the steps of our beloved Nabi ﷺ, who was himself the embodiment of excellence.

Our primary focus is on ploughing the seed of ambition and passion within the Muslim youth. To this end, our projects aim at providing clarity and direction in an age of distraction, and encouraging our youth to see beyond themselves and contribute to their community and society at large. We aim to aid our youth in finding balance and stability, engage in and learn authentic knowledge, and help students increase both their spirituality and productivity.

Thus far, our vision has, by the Mercy of Allah, resulted in two projects:

By means of the planner, students are given a practical tool by which they can navigate their often busy and overwhelming lives, and successfully balance their religious obligations alongside their studies.

Through the yearly Ramadan Quiz, the youth (and elders!) are engaged in learning authentic knowledge in an interactive manner, resulting in a deeper connection with the Qur’aan.

We request du’as for the entire team at Acquiring Knowledge, our teachers who continue to guide us, and our parents who continue to pray for us.

Our Journey So Far, Alhamdulillah

Acquiring Knowledge is launched.

The first ‘Ultimate Planner for a Muslim Student’ is designed and launched, catering for the academic year 2015-2016.

Acquiring Knowledge is approached by a national planner distribution company to upscale the planners. Talks begin (exciting times!).

Many emails and a meeting later, a contractual deal is reached, and the ‘Ultimate Planner for a Muslim Student’ is promoted in schools and colleges across the UK.

The planner visits its first national Conference in Leicester, UK: The Annual School Leadership Conference hosted by the Association of Muslim Schools (AMS).

The ‘Ultimate Planner for a Muslim Student’ reaches its first national school (and many more!).

Unknown at the time, a new journey begins: The Ramadan Quiz.

Acquiring Knowledge undergoes rebranding.
