Question:
Is it better for a student of knowledge to stand in night prayer, or to utilize this time for seeking knowledge and memorizing texts and issues?
Answer:
Seeking knowledge is better than standing in night prayer, because the benefit of seeking knowledge extends to the Muslims. Seeking knowledge is better than voluntary prayers, because its benefit and goodness extend to you while you are alive and after you die. A person's deeds are cut off except for three things, one of which is knowledge that is benefited from. Yes.
