The Prophet has said, "To seek knowledge is incumbent upon every Muslim." According to fully established hadiths which elucidate the meaning of this saying, knowledge here means the three principles of Islam: unity or tawhid; prophecy or nubuwwat; and eschatology or ma'ad. In addition to these principles, Muslims are expected to acquire knowledge of the subsidiary branches and the details of the injunctions and laws of Islam according to their individual circumstances and needs.
Mwalimu inamuwajibikia kuwataka wanafunzi wake wasome ibara hizo za Qur-ani, na iwapo kutakuwa na mwanafunzi ambaye atakuwa hajuwi au ni dhaifu katika kusoma Qur-ani, anatakiwa kumkosowa mwanafunzi huyo, ama iwapo wanafunzi wote watakuwa wanajuwa kuisoma Qur-ani katika hatuwa ya mwanzo anatakiwa kuwasisisitiza wasome vizuri zaidi, katika hali kama hiyo basi mwalimu anatakiwa kumchaguwa mmoja wa wanafunzi wake na kumtaka asome ibara hizo neno kwa neno, na kuwataka wanafunzi wengine wakariri maneno hayo yanayosomwa na mwanafunzi mwenzao, na mtindo huo uendelee kwa wanafunzi wote, vile vile ni vizuri kuzingatia kuwa mwalimu anatakiwa kuwajuwa wanafunzi wake nani anaweza kusoma vizuri na nani ni dhaifu, na kwa zile aya ambazo ni refu na tabu kusoma amtake mwanafunzi ambaye anajuwa kusoma vizuri, na kwa zile aya ambazo ni fupi na ni nyepesi kuzisoma anatakiwa amtake mwanafunzi aliye dhaifu kuzisoma Aya hizo.
