He should make his intention sincere for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), seek His help, and also prepare himself with what Allah has made easy for him in terms of good preparation using beneficial, reliable references, and whoever has a sincere intention and strives to reach the truth, may Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) assist him.
