Learn about islam without a single book | from zero to hero learn islam👉One painful reality when seeking knowledge especially in the land of the kuffar, Many of you may find you do not know of one single scholar you can sit under & take from. I want to share with you a story from the shuyūkh of Malik Saud University
👉 There was a student who came from Russia, No access to scholars, No students of knowledge to sit under rather his source of knowledge was merely books, Tapes & the prerecorded lectures. He applied for the BA program at the university & the shaykh who interviewed him in all honesty felt a sense of pity.
👉The thought in the shaykh's mind was ❝This man came from Russia, There's no way he's going to have even half the knowledge to be accepted so why did he travel here? Perhaps had he studied more he would have a chance but at this point in time he's wasted his money & time.❞
👉 However the shaykh goes on with the normal protocol and questions the student on Fiqh, Aqeedah, Hadith, Tafseer, Nahl & to the shaykh's surprise the student has a developed understanding of everything.
The shaykh astounded at this young man's ilm, No known scholar has visited his hometown yet he has the knowledge of a talib ilm? The shaykh asks from where did you learn all this?
👉To which the student replies ❝I watched 5000 hours of shaykh uthaymeen's lectures online❞..The young student was then told at this point he's too advanced even for the BA program, He was accepted into the university & placed into a higher program than the BA degree he initially applied for.
🌴 ومن يتوكل على الله فهو حسبه
Whoever puts his trust in Allah, He is sufficient for him
Umar ibn Abdul Azeez (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
إن استطعت فكن عالماً
Become a scholar if you are able.
فإن لم تستطع فكن متعلماً
If you are not able, then be a student.
وإن لم تستطع فأحبهم
If you can not, then show love for them.
.وإن لم تستطع فلا تبغضهم
If you are unable to do that, then (at least) do not hate them.
