Question:
The questioner asks: How is a person attached to the pursuit of knowledge?
Answer:
A person is attached to the pursuit of knowledge if he has a desire and a good intention, and if he has patience to endure the hardship in seeking knowledge. This is what attaches him to the pursuit of knowledge, with the permission of Allah. He must also act upon what Allah has taught him. If he stores up knowledge and does not act upon it, the knowledge departs with the little action. If he does not act upon his knowledge, the knowledge goes away and nothing remains with him. So knowledge grows with action, with righteous action. Yes.
