A new report sheds more light on spying tactics by the US National Security Agency.
The report by the German magazine, Der Spiegel, says American spies intercept computer deliveries, exploit hardware weaknesses, and even hijack Microsoft\\\'s internal reporting system to spy on their targets. It says all the tactics are related to an NSA division called Tailored Access Operations or TAO. Der Spiegel says the TAO had high-tech gadgets including cables to record what\\\'s being typed across the screen. The report also says the NSA has collected data on key tele-telecommunications cable between Europe, North Africa and Asia. The German magazine previously published a series of stories based on documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, putting the US in a worldwide scandal.

The topic of knowledge can be widely found within Islamic teachings and practices; So much so that the first commandment and revelation from Allah (SWT) to his messenger prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was \"Read, In the Name of your Lord who has created all\".
Narrations from the Prophet (PBUH) tell us of the high statuses in which knowledge seekers are rewarded and over 700 verses within the Quran speak of \'knowledge\' and its associated words.

At the same time Muslims in the Western world are too preoccupied with developing open societies to seek knowledge of Islam.
This week\'s Islam and Life asks: What importance does Islam place on seeking knowledge?
