don't ignore learning

Allah says to Muhammad: Do not ever be among those who are ignorant (Al-An’am: 35).

Allah says to Nuh: I remind you so you will not be among those who do not have knowledge (Hud: 46).

Allah says to Musa: I seek refuge in Allah so I am not among the ignorant (Al-Baqarah: 67).

Ignorance about Allah and His attributes is of two kinds:

First: Forgivable ignorance, like when someone never received the message or did not pay attention at first, but once they notice it, they can be forgiven.

Second: Ignorance that may be excused because of a person’s weakness in trying to remove it. This kind of ignorance is the source of all evil.

(from Syajaratul Ma‘arif, Syaikh al-‘Izz bin Abdus Salam)
