Matters that Aid One in Seeking Knowledge, a lecture by Shaykh Abdulilah Lahmami (hafidhahullāh), with benefits from The Book of Knowledge by Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn (raḥimahullāh)
- The importance of taqwā: the advice given to the first and the last (an-Nisāʾ 4:131), and the one who has taqwā is protected by Allāh
- Knowing the closeness of Allāh to us by His knowledge (Qāf 50:16)
- How taqwā and birr differ when mentioned together and when mentioned alone
- Three benefits of taqwā from al-Anfāl 8:29: Allāh makes knowledge easy, expiates his sins, and makes tawbah easy
- Be continuous and consistent in studying, strive and be patient, and protect what you learn by reviewing and writing
- Ibn ʿAbbās’s humility in seeking knowledge, and the story of the ant told by Imām as-Saʿdī about Imām al-Kisāʾī
- Stick to the scholars: Shaykh Rabīʿ said one hour with a scholar is better than many hours of research
