The Method for Memorizing the Summaries and Maintaining Steadfastness in Seeking Knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the correct method for memorizing the summaries? And what are the causes of steadfastness in seeking knowledge?
Answer:
The correct method is that you memorize the summary and read it to the scholars so they can explain it to you. As for memorizing it without a teacher and without an instructor, that will not benefit you in any way; you will only be a repeated copy, memorizing without knowing the meaning. So there is no difference between you and the written papers. If you find an instructor who explains this text to you, then memorize it and read it to him. And if you do not find an instructor, then spare yourself from this.

May Allah reward you
