This article discusses the meaning, need, and importance of research, showing how it is connected to human nature. It explains the Qur’ānic method of inquiry and the ways of research found in the Hadith and the blessed life of the Prophet (Sīrah). Examples from the sayings and practices of the Companions (Ṣaḥābah) and the Followers (Tābi‘ūn) are also included to highlight early Islamic approaches to knowledge. The paper further reviews the style of research in the modern era and the benefits it provides in today’s world. By linking classical Islamic methods with modern approaches, the article shows that research is not only an academic need but also a tool for progress and development. The study ends with a summary and useful recommendations.
