Advice for Students of Knowledge at the Beginning of the Academic Year

Question:
The questioner says: As you can see, there are many questions, and we have tried to limit them to what is appropriate for this lecture, and we will bring more of them, if Allah wills. He says: May Allah reward you with good. What is your advice for our student sons at the beginning of the new academic year, especially students of Shari'ah and Islamic studies?

Answer:
Our advice to them is to be sincere in their intention in seeking knowledge. And to take their creed from reliable, authentic books. And to take it from the verified scholars. They should take it from reliable books of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and books of creed, and not from deviant books or misguided books, and there are very many of them. There are many books that mislead people from their creed, bringing to them a defective creed brought by Satan, the devils of mankind and jinn. So we must be cautious of that, and preserve this creed. We preserve it in our chests, and we preserve it in our hearts, and we proceed upon it until we meet Allah with it on the Day of Resurrection. Yes.
