Thank you everyone for bringing back this post.
Knowledge can indeed open many doors that remain otherwise closed.
*****************************************************
Allah points to the necessity for humanity to continue to use their minds in an effort to gain as much knowledge as possible...
...However, be rest assured that whether human beings spend their time seeking knowledge or falling hopelessly into ignorant dispute, they will all return to Allah in due time; Allah reminds us:
Assuredly it is thy Lord who will gather them together: for He is Perfect in Wisdom and Knowledge. (Qur’an:15/25)
