Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: We are a group of students in the school who are memorizing scientific texts under one of the professors, so we ask you to give us advice in this regard.
Answer:
Do not limit yourselves to memorization only, but memorize them and study them with one of the scholars who explains them to you. Know their meanings. Memorize them and know their meanings. As for limiting yourselves to understanding only without memorization, that is not correct. Or limiting yourselves to memorization without understanding, that is also not correct. Rather, the correct path is memorization with understanding, and understanding is not achieved except by studying with the people of knowledge. Studying what you memorize with the people of knowledge who explain it to you. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
