Shaykh Muqbil's Advice to the Student of Knowledge - Abdulilah Lahmami

What I have also started to do is to edit files that may not have been released in the format of MP3 originally, thus making them available to a much wider audience.  Sometimes, I take audio that is available on a website but is downloadable, put it on my website in a downloadable format.

This is a lecture based upon the advice of Shaykh Muqbil (Rahimahullaah Ta'ala) to the student of knowledge as read by Abdulilah Lamami (hafidhahullah Ta'ala). .

It was originally posted by our brothers at alBaseerah on their SoundCloud account.

It should be noted: This lecture is not just for the students studying at a university or the one who is able to sit with a Shaykh. 

Rather, it is for every single individual, man, woman and child who is striving to learn their religion with the correct understanding. 

For, every single person is a student of knowledge of varying levels and abilities.

All I have done to these audio files is to clean up their overall quality by reducing the level of background noise.  I have also merged them into one file rather than two, as I believe it is one complete lecture that has been separated into two parts, and they are now presented below:

3 Skills a Student of Knowledge Must Develop - Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq

The three skills that must be developed bought here by Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) were found mentioned in the audio from his reading of the explanation of 'Aqidah at-Tahawiyyah by Shaykh Saalih ibn 'Abdul-'Aziz Aala Ash-Shaykh (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) that can be download from this link. An extremely beneficial series of lectures. 

Here is that very beneficial advice:
Summary of the Advice

First Skill: Taking clear notes with good handwriting such that you are able to read what you have written when you are going to revise them and memorize them.

Second Skill: Summarising the notes that you take such that once you have taken the notes, you read them later and summarize them so that you are able to know the basic points and important benefits.

Third Skill: Revising whatever you have noted down from the class you have attended such that you memorize the important points.

“Knowledge disappears if you do not attend to it”

EDIT: What I mean by the word “Student of Knowledge” in the heading is; anyone who studies the religion upon the hands of the scholars or upon the hands of those who are recommended by the scholars. So, basically, the one who has just begun to attend the English lectures, and the advanced student who is attending to the advanced lessons of the scholars and are involved in giving da’wah are all included in this statement. These three skills which are mentioned may also be applied in acquiring worldly knowledge too. Wallah A’lam.
