“To benefit from a Deeni talk you must have two qualities:
1) Talab: come and listen to the talk with a yearning and desire to gain from it.
2) Ihtiyaaj: consider yourself to be in need of what the speaker is saying.
Just participating and listening to talks, without these two points in mind, does not bring change into people’s lives. The disbelievers of Makkah had the occasion to listen to many speeches of our beloved Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wasallam, but because they did not have the right intentions and attitude, his blessed words had no effect on their lives.”

“In religious gatherings, you should sit with a sense of need and a willingness and desire to benefit from them. Then Allah subhanahu wata‘alaa will endow you with spiritual gain. Those who sit with arrogance and pride derive nothing from such gatherings.”

Ilm is the door to amal (practice), amal is the door to the pleasure of Allah ta’ala, and the pleasure of Allah ta’ala is the door to success in this world and the hereafter.

” The great tabi’ee Ibn Seereen rahmatullahi alayh, has said that:
This knowledge is deen so be careful who you take your deen from.
Therefore, it is of utmost importance that we know whose material we are reading and listening to. Unfortunately, today we go on the web and read and listen to whatever we come across.
But we should not rely on such material until we are sure of its authenticity.”

“A person who teaches you something, even if it is classed as something trivial, will be regarded as your teacher and must therefore be shown respect. Ali radiallahu anhu used to say:
Whoever taught me one letter is my master and I am his slave.
From this we learn how high a rank teachers have and how much we should respect them.”

“When facing any religious issue we should refer to reliable and authentic ulamā. For Allah ta’ala says in the Qur’an,”
Ask those of knowledge if you do not know.

“The Prophet sallahu alayhi wasallam has said in a hadeeth that a good question is half of ‘ilm. A good question is one that is asked with sincerity, genuineness and not to display one’s knowledge.”

“Why should there be a need for anyone to cajole us to learn ‘ilm? ‘Ilm has come directly from Allah ta’ala and fortunate are those who are able to acquire it.”

“The first lesson taught to the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam in the Cave of Hira began with the instruction: “Read”. Allah ta’ala was the teacher and the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam was the student.
During that first lesson no mention was made of Hajj, Salaah, Sawm or Zakaah; the very first order was to acquire knowledge, and the means mentioned was ‘the pen’.
This shows the importance of acquiring ‘ilm, for there is no Deen without ‘ilm.
Success depends on practicing the whole Deen and ‘ilm is the door to attaining the whole Deen.
