Today (10.12.23) we will be covering إن شاء الله:

There will always be a group of people upon the Truth and the Sunnah

Know that there will not cease to be a group of the people of the truth and the Sunnah amongst the people whom Allah will guide and through them (He will) guide others and revive the Sunnah through them. They are the ones whom Allah, the Most High, describes, those who are few in the time of controversy. He says: 
Only those to whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it after clear proofs had come to them through hatred one to another. 
He singled out these people, saying: 
Then Allah, by His leave, guided those who believed in the truth concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path. 
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). said, “There will not cease to be a group of my Ummah uppermost upon the truth. They will not be harmed by those who forsake them, until Allah’s affair comes to pass and they are uppermost.” 

The Scholar is the one who follows the Book and the Sunnah, even if his knowledge is limited

May Allah have mercy upon you! Know that knowledge is not in merely narrating a great deal and (having many) books. The scholar is the one who follows the Book and the Sunnah, even if his knowledge is limited and (even if) he only has a few books. Whoever conflicts with the Book and the Sunnah is an innovator, even if he narrates much and has many books.
