Is learning obligatory for someone who possesses the mental capacity and intelligence in both scientific and literary fields, and is the concept of knowledge in Islam limited to the religious sciences only?

The knowledge that is obligatory for every Muslim to acquire is the knowledge of individual obligations (fard al-ayn), such as knowing God and His Prophet, learning ablution (wudu) and prayer (salat), and what pertains to the individual in their acts of worship and dealings. As for delving deep into the details of knowledge, it is not an individual obligation (fard al-ayn); rather, it is a communal obligation (fard al-kifaya) that some Muslims learn, but not all of them. The concept of knowledge in Islam includes every knowledge that benefits a Muslim personally or benefits other Muslims, whether it is religious or worldly knowledge. This is indicated by the general saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim," and his saying: "When a person dies, his deeds cease except for three..." and among them he mentioned "knowledge from which benefit is derived." Thus, Islam encourages the acquisition of all beneficial knowledge and elevates the status of scholars.
