The answer

Islam has encouraged the pursuit of knowledge and guided people to cultivate the earth. Beneficial knowledge is one of the greatest means of advancement and progress. It encompasses sciences that benefit people in their livelihoods, such as medicine and engineering. Learning these may be an individual obligation (fard ayn) or a collective obligation (fard kifayah), depending on people's need for them. Whoever purifies their intention in learning and teaching these sciences will receive great reward from Allah the Almighty. One should seek Allah's help and supplicate with the prophetic supplication: "O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek assistance; rectify all my affairs and do not entrust me to my soul for the blink of an eye." Associating with diligent students aids in seeking knowledge. If a person is unable to achieve their desire, let them remember the words of Allah the Almighty: "And perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good."
