Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: We ask Your Eminence for a word of guidance for students of knowledge regarding sincerity and its importance in the pursuit of knowledge.
Answer:
The pursuit of knowledge is not valid except with sincerity of intention for Allah the Exalted. One seeks knowledge for the face of Allah, and from that he desires to know the truth from falsehood. He also desires to teach himself and the Muslims, and to call to Allah with this intention. Allah knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
