Advice Of Shaafi’ee

This advice goes out to anyone who wants to be a student of knowledge, anyone who wants to learn more about Islaam.

And this is not my own words but the words of the great scholar Imaam Muhammad bin Idris ash-Shaafi’ee so read this carefully.

أخي لن تنال العلم إلا بستة

O my Brother you will never gain knowledge without [possessing] six [qualities]

سأنبيك عن تفصيلها ببـيان

I will inform you of these in detail and with clarity

ذكاء وحرص واجتهاد وبلغة

Sharpeness [of the mind] eagerness [to learn] sacrifice [in terms of time etc] and means [i.e wealth]

وصحبة أستاذ وطول زمان

And the company of a scholar and length of time!
