Advice for the student of knowledge in the last ten days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is Fahd asking, and he says: What are the most important pieces of advice you give to the student of knowledge, especially since he is approaching these blessed ten days?
Answer:
The student of knowledge is commanded to do good deeds, to act upon his knowledge, and to continue seeking knowledge from qualified scholars. He does not seek knowledge from himself, from his books, or from those who think they know, but rather he takes the knowledge from its people and from its correct sources, because this knowledge is transmitted from the scholars, generation after generation.
The students take it from their shaykhs, and they took it from their shaykhs, all the way back to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the chain is connected in this regard. As for limiting oneself to reading, or to those who think they know like him, or to his own understanding, this is a serious error, and no knowledge is gained through it; rather, ignorance is gained, and it may even harm himself and others. Yes.
