Some people look down on the study of Islamic sciences, saying that anyone with a low grade should go to an Islamic college..!

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In these days, many people look down on the study of Islamic sciences. They say that anyone with a low grade or little understanding should go to an Islamic college. How do we respond to these people who have become numerous? Because the youth have come to shun studying in Islamic colleges, claiming that they have no future.

Answer:
These people are either ignorant and do not know. They do not know the seeking of knowledge, or they are misguided; they know, but they are misguided and want to turn people away from beneficial knowledge and Islamic colleges. They say that only the lazy go there, or only the poor, and so on, and that they have no future.
Have you seen the students of the College of Sharia now? They are not lost. They do not lack jobs. Now, they are the leaders, praise be to Allah. They are the preachers, they are the teachers, they are the judges. This is clear. So the student of Islamic knowledge, or the student of Islamic sciences.
Now, praise be to Allah, they are in a state of honor and elevation. We have not reached a point where the student of Islamic knowledge has no place in society. That is in a non-Muslim society. A society of disbelievers, or those who have no desire for Islam. But in the lands of the Muslims, the student of Islamic knowledge is honored and respected, and people need him.
They need him, they ask him, and they seek guidance from his opinion. He should have good expectations. It is obligatory for the student to have good expectations of Allah the Exalted, to seek Islamic knowledge, and not to let his concern be the world and jobs .
He should have good expectations of Allah the Exalted and proceed on his path, and not listen to the discouragers, the alarmists, and the hypocrites, because he is convinced of what he is upon. Yes.
