Is there any guidance for students of knowledge so that they may have an impact and efforts in da'wah in this land and in their own lands when they return?

The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : On the occasion of the vacation, we find that a number of brothers here have come to seek knowledge and have, praise be to Allah, gained much good. However, when they go to their countries during these vacations, they have no impact on those around them. Likewise, we find that some of the brothers here in this land do not participate with their brothers in guiding the people of the camps in matters they need, and Allah does not benefit through them. I ask for a word of guidance on this occasion for my brothers, the students of knowledge, so that they may have an impact on their brothers in this land and elsewhere?

The Shaykh : Yes, there is no doubt that among the benefits of seeking knowledge is that the student performs what Allah has made obligatory upon him, which is conveying the knowledge he has acquired. This is how it came in the Book and the Sunnah. As for the Book, Allah the Exalted said: This covenant between Allah and those who were given knowledge is not a tangible covenant, but rather Allah giving him knowledge is a covenant upon him to convey it. As for the Sunnah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said while addressing the people during the Farewell Pilgrimage: He also said: It is obligatory for the student of knowledge not to belittle himself, but to convey what Allah has given him of knowledge, whether in his own country or in another country, especially during the vacations when there is no obligatory pursuit of knowledge for the person.
