The Believer's Handbook for Seeking Knowledge - Paperback

by Muhammad James Sutton (Author)

We live in a time when ignorance has taken the place of knowledge, and this is due to the vast majority of Muslims no longer having the ambition to seek knowledge. Although seeking knowledge has maintained its high level of reverence with the people, few people make the decision to do away with the comfort of their homes and family to journey out into the unknown to follow in the footsteps of the great Scholars that have preceded us.

This book is meant to be a motivation for the people to rekindle the burning desire to attain beneficial knowledge of the Deen which seemed to have burnt out a long time ago. This book is meant to be a blueprint or a strategic plan for the very rare individual that decides to take the responsibility of his community on his shoulders and venture out to seek the knowledge that is needed for the Muslims to worship Allah properly.

This book, if Allah wills, is meant to be an awakening for the people to return to the most noble act one can do in this day and age. The noble act of attaining beneficial knowledge raises peasants over kings, and it raises servants over those who boast of noble lineages. Beneficial knowledge will cause the richest of the rich to sit at the feet of the poorest of the poor with respect, admiration and esteem for the impoverished individual possessing that knowledge.

So, let us begin on this noble journey which has been neglected these days. Let us continue on this path of knowledge and righteous actions until the angel of death arrives to take our souls. May Allah keep us firm!
