Ignorance Is A Chronicle Disease

Sheikh Yahya Ibn Ali Al Hajooree حفظها الله said:

فهو والله داء عضال ومرض قتّال لا يبرأ منه إلا من أقبل على علم كتاب الله وسنة رسوله بكل محبة ورغبة

For it (ignorance) by Allaah is a chronicle disease and a deadly sickness which he doesn’t become free from it except with acceptance upon the knowledge of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم with complete love and desire!

مع بذل وسعه في الاجتهاد من أجل تحصيله،

Whilst exerting his capability in striving due to its attainment [knowledge]

والحرص الكامل على صرف الأوقات والقوى لنيله،

And full eagerness upon withdrawing the time and the strength to achieve it

واللجوء إلى الله بدعائه وطلب فتحه وتوفيقه ،

And the returning to Allaah by invoking Him and seeking His success

ومجالسة أهله والرحلة إليهم والاستفادة منهم،

And sitting with its people, travelling to them and benefiting from them.
