First After Memorizing the Qur'an: Memorizing the Matn or Books on Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Which is more important after memorizing the Noble Qur'an: memorizing the books of hadith, or memorizing and studying the concise texts, whether in creed, jurisprudence, or other sciences?
Answer:
I have said and repeated that mere memorization is not what is required. What is required is sitting with the people of knowledge, in the circles of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), whether in schools or in mosques, sitting with the people of knowledge and receiving knowledge from them. Memorization should be secondary; memorization should follow the lessons. If a person memorizes without a teacher, without this, it is not considered knowledge or learning. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
