The Path to Righteousness and Avoiding the Trials of the Age for Youth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Dr. Salih, may Allah bless you. He says: How do you view the best path to steadfastness upon the correct methodology so that youth can avoid falling under the burden of the trials of this age? And what is the correct direction for them?
Answer:
This is not achieved except through beneficial knowledge. So youth and others must learn beneficial knowledge. First, learn the creed, then learn the matters of religion in detail. They must learn knowledge, because ignorance is the affliction and the evil. There is no protection from misguidance, disbelief, shirk (associating partners with Allah), or diseases except through beneficial knowledge, holding fast to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and clinging to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) alone, without anything else. This is not achieved except through learning, and learning is not done from the ignorant or the pretenders to knowledge, nor from books and papers. No, learning is taken from the scholars through transmission. This is the beneficial knowledge from the scholars known for it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
