Part One: Devoting Oneself to the Pursuit of Knowledge.

The Shaykh : Some of them toil in the pursuit of knowledge and use this break to devote themselves to studying sciences that are not available in regular schools. They attach themselves to the scholars and benefit from them in the houses of Allah the Exalted. How great is the blessing in the knowledge received in the mosques! The knowledge a person receives in the mosques is far more blessed than the knowledge he receives in schools. This is a proven fact, because the mosques are the houses of Allah and the abode of the noble angels. Therefore, the impact of seeking knowledge there is profound on the student of knowledge. For this reason, we say that this group of people, or this type of people, are the ones who have gained, the ones who remained in the pursuit of knowledge, but not between the walls of schools and institutes, rather in the houses of Allah the Exalted, with scholars whose knowledge, trustworthiness, and religion are reliable. These are, in truth, the winners.
