Advice to a young man on combining upbringing with the pursuit of knowledge

Question:
First of all, may Allah keep you safe. I am a young man of sixteen years old, and I have been in circles for learning the Qur'an for a year and a half. I want to turn to the pursuit of knowledge, but the circle is moving faster than I can keep up with, because I need proper upbringing. If I pursue knowledge without that upbringing, it will lead to a relapse. What do you advise me to do regarding the level of education?

Answer:
The pursuit of knowledge is the upbringing itself; there is no difference between upbringing and the pursuit of knowledge. In fact, the pursuit of knowledge is the upbringing. So pursue knowledge, memorize the Qur'an, and seek knowledge; that is the upbringing. Yes.
