May Allah reward you. This question is close to the first one.

So what is your guidance for one in this state, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
This is a whisper from Shaytan. Knowledge is good. Knowledge does not increase its owner in anything but good, if he seeks knowledge. So do not lose interest in seeking knowledge because of such talk. It may bring arrogance and pride. Seek knowledge. Seek knowledge, and knowledge is good. The closer you get to it, the more it guides you to the right path, so do not lose interest in it. Yes.
