purpose of our creation; to worship Allah, and therefore the best sort of knowledge is knowledge of Allah. Knowledge is worthless if we dont put it to use as a basis for action. We should never selfishly hoard it, nor fail to share it through laziness or carelessness. Furthermore, Muslims will be judge, not only by Allah but by their fellow humans, too, according to their actions, their behavior. Thus Knowledge must be use for good purposes, in fulfillment of Allahs laws, and must be used in ways intended by Allah.

Allah is displeased with those who deliberately keep their knowledge for themselves or for a certain group, for personal worldly gain. Knowledge is a form of wealth, which is also a trust to be shared with all humankind.
