Summary/Abstract: In all times and regions the knowledge is one of the greatest blessings of Allah and the pursuit of knowledge is an imperative for all the faithful prescribed in two fundamental sources of Islam: Qur’an and the Hadith. Knowledge is a fortune and the power. According to the teachings of Islam it is also a form of ibadat, which if joined with correct intentions, places the pursuers of it, the learned, upon a very high pedestal in this world and in hereafter. In this article the author attempts to relate about the two-ways relations that emerge in the journey of attaining the knowledge since it is a process that can never be of one-way character. In this regard the author stresses: the relation of a student towards learning and towards the object of learning as well as his relation towards those who assist him in that path; relation towards the learner and towards the learned regardless of the particular field of their learning. The author presents a selection of the ayahs from the Qur’an and the Hadith which teach us how to properly regard these relations and warn us of ill consequence if we fail to do so.
