One of the cornerstones of Abu Basir’s contributions is the exaltation of knowledge. He often relayed the teachings of Imam al-Baqir (a), emphasizing the significance of acquiring religious knowledge. His encounters in discussions about theology reflect a passionate pursuit of wisdom, and he once stated, “Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” This raises a challenging question: in an age inundated with information, how can modern Muslims discern which knowledge is truly valuable and aligned with their faith?
