[14/02/2022] Words of Advice to the One Seeking Knowledge - By Abu Hakeem Bilāl Davis حفظه الله. Short words of advice, answering questions regarding seeking knowledge after the weekly Tafsir Ibn Kathir class.

Some points discussed during this advice:

⁃ That which the da’wah of the Prophet ﷺ was based upon and the importance of being familiar with the texts of the Book and the Sunnah.
⁃ The effectiveness of quoting the verses of the Book of Allāh upon the hearts.
⁃ Contemplating upon our ability to convey the legacy left by the Messenger ﷺ if the responsibility was solely on our shoulders.
⁃ The importance of equipping ourselves to be carriers of this legacy.

The level of importance that should be given to memorising.

⁃ Giving priority to memorising the small texts in ‘Aqīdah after the Book of Allāh and what one is able to memorise from the Sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ.
⁃ Being familiar with and beginning one’s da’wah with the fundamental texts such as Uṣūl ath-Thalāthah, Qawā’id al-Arba’a and ‘Aqīdatul-Wāsiṭiyyah.

Things that prevent a student from learning.

⁃ From the best of the books written on this topic: ‘Awā’iquṭ-Ṭalab of Shaykh ‘Abdus-Salām b. Barjis (رحمه الله).
⁃ From the things that may be present prior to him embarking upon studying:
⁃ 1. Characteristics such as kibr.
⁃ 2. Being deceived by Shaytān that one is too old and not able to memorise/study.
⁃ 3. Not having a sincere intention.
⁃ 4. Not being familiar with the methodology of studying.
⁃ 5. Pursuing the dunyā.

Jealousy among students of knowledge who are at a similar stage/level.

⁃ Constantly checking oneself and one’s ikhlāṣ.
⁃ If a person is badly affected by the progression of his companion, he must ask himself:
⁃ How is he in relation to his own sincerity in his seeking of knowledge?
⁃ How is he in relation to the statement of the Prophet ﷺ, “Love for your brother what you love for yourself”?
⁃ He should use that as a form of encouragement and put in more effort.
⁃ He should pay attention to the fact that the race is not for the swift but those who can endure.
