Combining the Pursuit of Knowledge with Calling Others to Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: How can one who wishes to pursue knowledge manage to balance the pursuit of knowledge with calling others to Allah the Exalted? Is it obligatory for him to devote himself entirely to knowledge first and not call others until he has mastered the knowledge? Or is it possible to combine the two?
Answer:
No, as the questioner mentioned, he should devote himself to seeking knowledge until he is qualified. Once he is qualified, he calls others to Allah the Mighty and Majestic. So first he learns, and then he calls others to Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, Honorable Shaykh,
