Shaykh Faraz Rabbani (Allah preserve him) said,
(1) When we seek knowledge, our goal should be seeking the pleasure of Allah and closeness to Him.
(2) Our seeking of knowledge should be a means to acquire taqwa–the provision of true seekers.
(3) We should seek knowledge with the intention of acting upon it, not merely out of intellectual or religious curiosity.
(4) We should turn to Allah in our acting upon knowledge, through making our actions sincerely for His sake and according to the ways most pleasing to Him–the ways of His Beloved Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace).
If we do this, and remain steadfast therein, our knowledge and actions will be blessed and–by Allah’s permission–will be of benefit to us and to others.
