Knowledge for human being is necessary as air, water and food. Knowledge means to know the reality of anything. Man, is the central figure of the universe. when he equipped with the knowledge of all kind that is beneficial to humanity, should be acquired with zeal.
It has been beautifully summed up in the Holy Quran:
"ALLAH gives dignity and makes high in a rack those of you who believe, and those who are given knowledge."
Our Holy prophet ( SAW) laid great stress on seeking knowledge. He raised the degree of learning 70 times higher than prayer. He declared that:
" Seek knowledge though you may have to travel to China."
He also declared that:
" The fate of a person who pays respect to another for his wealth and not for knowledge is defective." Wealth must be protected where as knowledge protects man. There is no end to the supply of information stored in a mind. knowledge is a precious important 
and permanent property of anybody.
Martin Luther king said:
" Intelligence plus character that is the goal of the knowledge."
Knowledge is the name of self identity, identity of ALLAH and identity of the whole world. At the end, knowledge or education is very essential for the progress of the world country.
" Education is not destination what it is source of destination".
