The Correct Method for Acquiring Knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the correct method for acquiring knowledge, and how do we understand and benefit from the books of knowledge?
Answer:
Books alone are not sufficient. It is necessary to have scholars; it is necessary to connect with scholars, sit in the circles of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and listen to their explanations and clarifications. This is required. Books alone, without a teacher, are of no benefit; rather, they may even be harmful.
