This research paper seeks to examine the fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) which is to “ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men, and women, achieve literacy and numeracy” in the light of the Qurʾān and Sunnah. Literacy and numeracy skills are essential in achieving quality education and having access to acquire such skills is a fundamental human right. In relation to this, the first revelation to Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was "iqrāʾ," which signifies the importance of literacy. In this paper, the Islamic perspective on ensuring quality education is described by employing descriptive and analytical methods. The study provides new insights about ensuring quality education for all youth and adults in light of the Qurʾān and Sunnah. Acquiring knowledge is obligatory in Islam; when individuals have access to quality education, they improve their prospects in all avenues of life. Islam encourages the pursuit of knowledge and its application for the benefit of humanity. Every Muslim must be educated in order to fulfill their duties and obligations to Allah and mankind. Providing equitable access to education for all members of society is a central priority of Islam.
