Combining Secondary School Studies with Memorizing the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, I am a young man who wants to leave secondary school to devote myself to memorizing the Noble Qur'an, but the teachers told me that you can combine studying and memorizing. What is your Eminence's opinion?
Answer:
Yes, we advise you to combine the two. Study secondary school and set aside some of your time for memorization at night or on Thursdays and Fridays. Whoever takes the right path will arrive. If you make a good arrangement for memorizing the Qur'an, Allah will make your affairs easy. You have Thursdays, Fridays, nights, and vacation times. Be assured of good; if you are sincere, Allah will make your affairs easy. Do not leave your studies; continue.
