Respect for knowledge; following Islamic teachings; understanding what type of knowledge is necessary for our faith journey; recognizing what type of knowledge can be considered extra or unnecessary .

This hadith explains the three categories of knowledge that we should be aware of. The first category is a precise verse from the Quran, which is the word of Allah and should be followed without question. The second category is an established sunnah or practice that has been passed down from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions. Lastly, there are firm obligatory duties that must be fulfilled in order to live according to Islamic teachings. It is important to note that any other knowledge outside these three categories can be considered extra or unnecessary for our faith journey.
