The Shaykh’s talk on sincerity in seeking knowledge.

The Shaykh : And in my opinion, which I have mentioned and which suffices as an answer to this question, these students must continue in seeking knowledge and acting upon knowledge, because many people today have made their seeking of knowledge a hobby. They do not seek behind the knowledge the knowledge of the truth and following it, but rather, as came in some hadiths of warning: or as he (peace be upon him) said. So we advise students in every place and in every time: that they seek knowledge for the face of Allah first, not for the salary and livelihood, and secondly: that they act upon it and know the good from the evil, so they bring the good and stay away from the evil. Anything else?
The student : May Allah honor you, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.
