Is it recommended to memorize the entire al-Nuniyyah, or only a part of it?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Do you advise us, O our Shaykh, to memorize the entire al-Nuniyyah, or only a part of it?

Answer:
O brothers, I have told you many times: the intention is not merely memorization. The intention, the intention is to recite it to the people of knowledge. You memorize it and recite it to the scholar, who explains it to you. This is the intention: you combine memorization with understanding. It is not your own understanding; you receive this from the scholar who clarifies these matters to you. So if you are able to find a scholar to memorize the al-Nuniyyah or other works with, that is a good thing. But mere memorization without understanding and receiving it from the people of knowledge is of no benefit to you. It is toil without benefit. The al-Nuniyyah is printed, praise be to Allah, and it is not a problem. If you memorize it without understanding, the book is better for you than you are. Yes.
