Advice for a student of knowledge on spending the summer vacation

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you know that the summer vacation is approaching, so what is your advice to a student of knowledge on how to spend it, may Allah grant you success?

Answer:
A student of knowledge, without doubt, should preserve his time for what benefits him, such as reading, studying beneficial books, and studying with the shaykhs in the circles of dhikr. If there are gatherings of dhikr that he can attend and keep up with, he should preserve his time for what benefits and profits him. He should not waste it through heedlessness and laziness, because it is a precious opportunity. If he has lessons he missed, he should study the lessons he missed in order to retake the exams for them. And if he passed his lessons, he should review the remaining curriculum; there may be a course he did not complete, so he should review it and complete it.
