The way to Seek Knowledge
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen
1) Take care to memorise the Book of Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aalaa) and
allocate some time every day to memorise and read, such that your
recitation is with reflection and understanding. And if you come across a
beneficial point whilst reading, then make a note of it;
2) Take care to memorise that which is easy (for you) from the authentic
Sunnah of the Messenger (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) and from that (I
recommend) memorising (the book) ((‘Umdatul-Ahkaam));
3) Take care in concentrating and confirming (whilst seeking knowledge)
such that you do not take a little knowledge from here and a little from
there. This is because this wastes your time and (unnecessarily) busies
your mind;
4) Start with the smaller books and study them well, then move on to that
which is above this (in level) until you obtain knowledge little by little
in a manner which makes firm (the knowledge) in your heart and to that
which you are at peace (comfortable) with;
5) Take care to understand the fundamental issues, their rules and the
limits of all that passes by you, as it has been said:
((Whoever does not take care to learn the fundamentals/principles, then he
has prevented (himself) from arriving at the conclusion/goal));
6) Discuss issues with your Shaykh or someone who is known for his
knowledge and (practice of the) religion based upon the conditions you
know. (Even if you are mentally able to discuss the issue).
