Reflections on the Quran's Emphasis on Knowledge and History

As-salamu alaykum, I've been thinking a lot about the significance of the first word revealed in the Quran, which is 'read' or 'recite'. Many scholars believe this highlights the importance of education and knowledge in Islam. When considering worldly knowledge, I used to focus on abstract subjects like math, science, and literacy. However, I've come to realize that understanding the Quran's lessons often requires context from the Seerah, the life of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Tafsirs, or interpretations of the Quran, also frequently draw on the Seerah to provide context for certain verses. It's as if Allah (swt), in His infinite wisdom, intentionally designed the Quran to be understood in conjunction with the world around us. Just as reading the Quran alone isn't enough to guarantee our place in Jannah if we don't practice its teachings, taking its verses at face value without considering the historical context may limit our understanding. I'd love to hear your thoughts and insights on this matter, insha'Allah.
