Its not my logic but that is what I have read.
To learn any "permissable knowledge" which is of crucial demand at a particular juncture and fundamental for the safeguard of Islam and Muslims is full of reward brother and it will take precedence over "optional" learning of Surah Baqarah (in general).
An example would be to learn medicine to provide Medical aid to Mujahideen during Shariah sanctioned Jihad under a Sunnah following Ameer and this would take priority over studying Qur'aan/Hadeeth/Fiqh when there are Ulamah already available who know these sciences and can provide guidance to laymen. If both fields are lacking then both are needed.
- Shaykh Ameerul-Mumineed (Mullah) Umar (HA) has also said to this effect specifically to military field medicine.
- Shaykh (Maulana) Yusuf Motala (HA) also feels that there are enough Ulamah in UK and other areas should be explored.
I have not heard either first hand so can't give you the exact words but it makes perfect sense. I have already said the necessary Islamic knowledge for all people is an OBLIGATION and this is beyond the scope of this discussion.
If today there was nobody to defend Islam and attacks on it THEN YES it will be an OBLIGATION to learn the art of debate and acquire the necessary knowledge to defend Islam.
I understand it to be true but I am here to be corrected by you and others, Insha'Allah.
I understand where you are coming from and I apologise for not making it very clear but I hope that it is now.
Beyond the obligatory (Islamic) knowledge is what we are discussing that is the fundamental point here.
