To seek knowledge, attend the lessons with the shaykhs, and if it is facilitated for you, enter the regular schools, institutes, and colleges; this is more organized and better. Otherwise, attend the lessons with the shaykhs, and you will attain good, if Allah wills. As for how to remain steadfast?
Stick to the obedience of Allah, stick to the obedience of Allah, and stay away from bad companions. Keep close to the people of good and the company of good, and if Allah wills, read the Qur'an, increase in reciting the Qur'an, and increase in listening to the religious programs broadcast on the Qur'an radio or others. All of this helps you to remain steadfast, if Allah wills. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family.
