وَقُلْ رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا
And say: My Lord, increase me in knowledge. (Surah Taha, 20:114)
زِدْنِي asks for an increase for oneself, and عِلْمًا identifies the kind of increase: knowledge. Continuing to learn means not treating one’s present knowledge as the endpoint.
For example, someone learns a hadith’s translation and then asks a reliable teacher about a difficult expression or its practical implications. Beneficial growth in knowledge should deepen understanding and improve conduct.
