The stages in seeking knowledge
Question:
Noble Shaykh, what issues should a student of knowledge focus upon, should he begin with the books of 'Aqeedah?
Answer:
He should begin with that which is easiest step by step, he should begin with the small treatises and study them with the Mashaykh, then gradually advance to more extensive books and like this he continues.
He does not go to the major extensive books from the beginning, rather he should progress to them little by little, graduating step by step.
