Uganda: Sheikh Ssekimwanyi Urges Muslims to Pursue Knowledge and Put It Into Practice
[Nile Post] Muslims have been urged to pursue beneficial knowledge and apply what they learn in their daily lives as part of their religious and personal development.
In a sermon delivered during Friday prayers at Masjid Abubakar in Kiwatule on August 14, 2026, Sheikh Shakib Ssekimwanyi urged Muslims to pursue beneficial knowledge and put it into practice in their daily lives. The Khutbah, titled "How to Acquire Knowledge for Education and Apply It in Our Daily Lives," emphasized the significance of education in Islam and encouraged believers to seek it with purpose and responsibility.
Sheikh Ssekimwanyi referred to the first revelation to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), where Angel Jibril instructed him to "Read," highlighting the importance Islam places on seeking knowledge and education. He also pointed to the creation of Prophet Adam, who was able to identify the creations of Allah, demonstrating the special capacity for knowledge given to human beings.
The Sheikh stressed that while knowledge for education is crucial, it is equally important to be selective about the kind of knowledge pursued and to understand how to apply it in life. He encouraged Muslims to translate their acquired knowledge into actions and conduct, urging them to follow the example and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in their daily lives.
