Which should a student of knowledge begin with: memorizing the Qur'an, or seeking knowledge? Or should he memorize the texts and seek knowledge at the same time?

Question:
He says: Which should one who desires to seek knowledge prioritize? Does he begin by memorizing the Qur'an and then seek knowledge, or does he memorize the texts and seek knowledge at the same time?

Answer:
Beginning with memorizing the Qur'an is good; that is the foundation. He should memorize the Qur'an first, if it is facilitated, and then seek knowledge. Yes. And if he combines memorizing the Qur'an with seeking knowledge at the same time, there is nothing wrong with that.
