OBLIGATORY KNOWLEDGE AND OPTIONAL KNOWLEDGE
Education of Obligatory knowledge and optional knowledge is best exampled by all Allah's prophets (from the first to the last):
Jesus Christ is one of the Prophets of Allah.
Jesus, the Messiah had worshipped Allah as Adam had worshipped Allah. Jesus Christ as the Messiah is a chosen prophet of Allah being sent to the people of the Jews, to be believed and be followed to worship Allah. The Religion of all the prophets of Allah did not differ from each other.
The religion which they believed and followed, which they had preached and teach people to ask forgiveness, give thanks and worship Allah in their life's time to attain good life in this world, good life in the hereafter and be save from hellfire is an example of Obligatory knowledge;
While all the prophets, their professions as a farmer, as a shepherd, as a tailor, as a hunter, as a fisherman, and etc. is an Optional knowledge.
So it is up for everyone to see its differences.
There is no compulsion in religion.
Surely, if any religion differs from the prophets it falls from innovations.
