A student of knowledge asks about what is difficult for him in the creed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is not just knowledge. Students of knowledge sometimes ask about matters they encounter that are difficult for them, or about matters where they are unsure how to hold a different creed, and these become difficult for them. Do you have days where you do not read about the creed, and there is no benefit in understanding it, so you do not ask about it at all?
Answer:
This is necessary, yes. They ask about what is difficult for them, but a student of knowledge cannot do without a teacher. He must have a teacher who reads the creed to him and he receives it from him in the correct manner, and he does not limit himself to his own reading or study. Yes.
