al-Allaamah al-Fawzaan was asked: Which is the best path for the student of knowledge, Books or Tapes? Please could one of the capable brothers translate Shaykh al-Fawzaan's answer and post it for the benefit of the brothers and sisters?!
The Questioner: If I intended to learn knowledge, which path is best, is it the path of books, or tapes or lectures, or are books best for learning? The Shaykh?s Answer: All of these paths are incorrect for the student of knowledge??
Taken from [(من شريط اللقاء المفتوح رقم (21)] open sitting tape 21, posted on www.sahab.net Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamaan radiallaahu 'anhu said. "The people used to ask the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam about the good, but I used to ask him about the evil for fear that it would overtake me ..."

Baarak Allaah feekum akhee for bringing this nice clip from our shaykh Saalih, hafithahullaah. Firstly, the last part of the question should read: "...and WHICH books are best to learn from?" The shaykh's answer: "All of these ways are incorrect, as they are only means of assistance. As for the essence of seeking knowledge, then it is to be sought from the scholars. (The student) must sit in the study circles where they teach or in the classrooms under teachers, as knowledge is to be taken directly from someone, not from reading [1], as reading is only a means of assistance. For if you were to become a student of books, tapes [2], or general lectures, and you kept only to that, then that is a great danger indeed. You will be one of the false claimants to knowledge [3] from those who fall into great errors in their knowledge, as they did not build the foundation of their knowledge from the scholars, nor did they take the knowledge directly from them. (The affair must be) from person to person, my brothers! Knowledge is not (gained) by becoming a student of books, papers, or stationary! These affairs are only things to assist you. You review these things when you are studying under the mashaayikh, when you want to gain more understanding or insight, as this will make you studies of the lessons that you attend easier. As for restricting yourself to becoming a student of these reference materials, then this is a huge error, since its harm is more than its benefit." FOOTNOTES [1] I think the phrase: العلم بالتلقي مهو بالقراءة should read: العلم بالتلقي ما هو بالقراءة [2] I think the phrase: تتلمذت على الكتب أو الأشرطة has been mistakenly repeated twice. [3] I think the phrase: تكون متعالمة مع المتعالمين should read: تكون متعالماً مع المتعالمين ******************** سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت أستغفرك وأتوب إليك This message was edited by Moosaa on 11-16-02 @ 3:53 PM

Assalamu alaiykum wa Rahmatullah. Jazzakullahu Khairan Ya Akhee al Faadil, for this important Question and Answer, And to complete the benefit, here is the translation of the Q&A, wa Billahi Tawfeeq! Q: And finally, what do you advice us concerning how to seek knowledge and what are the books and tapes that are needed for a beginner in knowledge? A: What we advice is that you contact the people of Knowledge, and if they are able to travel to them then they should do so, the likes of Sheikh Al-Albani and Sheikh ibn Baaz, and Sheikh Abdul Muhsin al-Abaad and Sheikh Rabee bin Hadee and Sheikh ibn Uthameen, if they are able to travel to them, then they should do so. And if they are not able to travel to them, then (they should contact) by phone and writing to them, And if it is found in the land which they reside in, a prominent Alim, Then we advice them to gather around him and call the people to gather around him, as long as he is not a Mutahathib (blind follower of the Madthabs), and as long as he is not a Hizbee, because the Hizbee, his only concern is gathering the people into his Hizb (Group). And the Mutahathib (his only concern is) calling the people to his Madthab: ?And to Allah is the Pure Religion? [39:3] So it is incumbent to have Sincerity in the Religion and in the Call to Allah - Mighty and Sublime-:? And let there be from You (All) a Group, Calling to the Good.?[3:104] ? Say, This is my way I call to Allah upon insight, I and those who follow me.?[12:108] ?Call to the way of your Lord with Wisdom and a good admonition?[16:125] And there is an important affair which must be made clear, that some of the Hizbiyeen, it is possible that he might swear by Allah that he is not a Hizbee, so (that) you remain in a state of confusion, but when he calls you to Elections or if you were to see him praising the Hizbiyeen and meeting them, so it is a point of doubt and misgiving, so it is important to pay attention to it.
