A Roadmap for the Student of Knowledge
Shaykh Muḥammad Ghālib al-ʿUmarī
The lecture, translated by Ustādh Abū Idrīs (Birmingham, England), laid out a roadmap for the potential student of knowledge; the traits that exemplify the upright moral character that is requisite of such a noble pursuit.

From the beacons upon the path for the student of knowledge
- have taqwā (fear) of Allāh
- taqwá is only built upon ʿilm (knowledge)
- carry out the commands of Allāh
- stay away from the prohibitions of Allāh
- the Qurʾān and Sunnah are filled with admonitions towards taqwá
- taqwá is from the means of getting to paradise
- actions are accepted based on two conditions: ikhlās (إخلاص) wa-al-mutābʿāh (متابعة), sincerity upon the way of the Messenger (ﷺ)
- the believers are upon different levels in sincerity and piety
- cling to the guidance of the Salaf, at the head of them, the Companions of the Messenger (ﷺ), whoever opposes them will go to destruction
- be far removed from the people of innovation and desires, for innovation corrupts and destroys
- stay away from ḥizbiyyah (party spirt)
- be patient upon the truth even if you are few in number
- the blessings of Allāh are innumerable
