Question:
If a person listens to the advice of the scholars frequently, but finds that he does not understand it, does that mean he should stop attending the lectures?
Answer:
He should not lose hope. He must strive against his own self, attend the lectures and advice, and be optimistic about good. He must strive against his self and listen attentively. He should ask his Lord for success and ask Him to help him understand and assist him. He should not lose hope, nor should he allow Shaytan to make him abandon the lectures. Rather, he should listen to the benefits and the advice. He should ask his Lord for success and assistance in understanding. He should be optimistic about good. When his religion improves, Allah will assist him and make his affairs easy.
