Comparing the Seeking of Knowledge with Returning to Call the People
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, which is better for me? I am a young student of knowledge. Is it better for me to go to my country and dissuade my people from major shirk (associating partners with Allah), or should I continue seeking knowledge here and preserve my creed and the creed of my family and children?
Answer:
Seek knowledge here. When you travel to your country, call people to Allah the Exalted. Seek knowledge. If you travel, you must travel to your country for one of the necessary needs, such as a visit. Seize the opportunity and call people to Allah there. Yes.
