Advice for Students of Knowledge

Zainul Abedeen shares some sage advice given to him by one of his shayookh:

1. Never think too great of yourselves; if you have pride within yourselves then that pride will act as a barrier not to only seeking further Knowledge but it will distance you from the Knowledge you already feel you have.

2. Never feel belittled by sitting in the company of the pious. Don’t think that the knowledge you have is sufficient and never think that you’re better than the Awaam (general public) because of your knowledge. The Knowledge and Taqwa obtained in the company of the pious can never be achieved from reading and studying books. This is the sole reason that many Awaam have surpassed those who feel they have Knowledge.

The rest can be found on the “Collection of Teachings” blog.

Jazakallah to Abdullah for the tip.
