من أراد أن يطلب الحق والعلم اليوم فليعقد العزم ويتوكل على الله ويبحث وينقب ويغص في بطون الكتب ويعرض كل قول على الكتاب والسنة وسيجد الحق واضحاً أبلجاً إن شاء الله.
ولا يجلس منتظراً أن يأتيه من يأخذ بيده ويدله ويرشده فقد شح العلم بين من ينتسبون إليه ويدعونه؛ ومن حازوه هم قلة قليلة إن لم يكن الواحد منهم خلف القضبان فهو كمؤمن آل فرعون!.
Whoever desires to seek the truth and knowledge today must resolve firmly, rely upon Allāh, search diligently, investigate deeply, and plunge into the depths of books. He must present every statement against the Book and the Sunnah, and he will find the truth clear and radiant, ʾIn shāʾ Allāh.
And let him not sit waiting for someone to come take him by the hand, guide him, and lead him, for knowledge has become scarce among those who claim it and affiliate themselves with it. And those who truly possess it are a very small few—if they are not behind bars, then they are like the believer from the family of Pharaoh!
