Introduction ito
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. May peace and blessings be upon our
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his family, and all his companions.
This guide is a simplified program for those who wish to seek knowledge, considering ease and
gn
gradual progression to avoid boredom or weariness, while seeking help and success from Allah.
The impetus for writing this program came from a request by a respected brother at the College
of Hadith in the year 1416 AH. He asked for a program that considers the practical

Before delving into the program, it is essential to reflect on the virtues of knowledge and the
educational guidelines that every seeker should adhere to. These guidelines include the most
in
important etiquettes for a student of knowledge and ways to benefit fully from scientific
courses. Additionally, some important notes related to the program are included..
@
The books selected for this program are those that adhere to pure Aqeedah (creed) and Manhaj
(methodology). I have made every effort to avoid including books authored by innovators or
those accused of innovation, to the best of my knowledge.
I pray that Allah benefits the writer, the reader, and the publisher of this program.

The Virtue of Knowledge, Learning, and Teaching
The evidences indicating the virtue of knowledge, learning, and teaching are numerous. Ibn
al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned one hundred and fifty-three aspects of
the virtue of knowledge in his great book Miftah Dar al-Sa'ada wa Manshur Wilayat Ahl al-'Ilm
wal-Irada. Here are some of those aspects:
1. Allah, the Exalted, described Himself with knowledge: Allah is the Knower of the
fi
unseen and the seen, the All-Knowing of all things. Allah (the Exalted) says (what
means) in several places in the Quran: {Indeed, Allah is Knowing of all things}. He knows
la
the finest of details: {Verily Allâh, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He
sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he
sa
will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allâh is
All-Knower, All-Aware (of things)} [Luqman: 34]. Allah's knowledge is unlike the
knowledge of creatures; His knowledge is not preceded by ignorance, nor is it subject to
ito
forgetfulness or negligence.
2. Allah called upon the scholars to bear witness to the greatest testimony: The
testimony that there is no deity except Allah. He paired the testimony of the scholars
with His own testimony and that of the angels on this greatest matter: {Allâh bears
gn
witness that Lâ ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshiped but He), and the
angels, and those having knowledge (also give this witness); (He always) maintains His
creation in Justice. La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the
co
70). Striving to reach the rank of the scholars is striving to attain the inheritance of the
prophets (peace be upon them).
@
4. Knowledge leads to the fear of Allah: "It is only those who have knowledge among
His slaves that fear Allah." (Fatir: 28).
5. It is a sign of goodness: The Prophet ( )ﷺsaid, "When Allah wishes good for
someone, He bestows upon him the understanding of the religion" (agreed upon).
6. Knowledge is a path to paradise: The Prophet ( )ﷺsaid, "Whoever treads a path
seeking knowledge, Allah makes easy for him a path to Paradise." [Muslim]
7. The angels surround the seeker of knowledge with their wings out of pleasure
with his deeds: The Prophet ( )ﷺsaid, "Indeed, the angels lower their wings for the
seeker of knowledge out of pleasure with what he does, and they pile on top of each
other until they reach the lowest heaven because of their love for what he seeks"
(narrated by Ahmad, Ibn Majah in a summarized form, al-Tabarani, Ibn Hibban in his
Sahih, and al-Hakim). See: Sahih al-Targhib (No. 71).
8. Allah, His angels, and all His creation, even the ants in their holes and the fish in
the sea, pray for the scholar: The Prophet ( )ﷺsaid, "Indeed, Allah, His angels, the
inhabitants of the heavens and the earth, even the ant in its hole and the fish in the sea,
pray for the one who teaches people good." (narrated by al-Tirmidhi and others). See:
Sahih al-Targhib wal-Tarhib (No. 81).
9. Knowledge is the best legacy a person leaves after death: The Prophet ( )ﷺsaid,
fi
"When a person dies, his deeds are cut off except for three: ongoing charity (sadaqah
jariyah), knowledge left behind that is beneficial, (that people share or learn from), or a
la
righteous child who prays for him" (agreed upon).

Educational Guidelines for Those Who Seek to Attend
Religious Courses ito
To benefit from religious courses and this program, students should adhere to the following
guidelines:
1. Sincerity of intention for the sake of Allah and truthfulness in seeking knowledge.
gn
2. Clear the mind and reduce distractions during these religious courses.
3. Selecting courses with a focus on Salafi educational courses and those who are qualified
for teaching and education. Here, one should prioritize based on availability and
co
accessibility
4. Be diligent in attending lessons from the beginning and avoid absence or tardiness.
5. Acquire the books studied in the courses for review, research, commentary and noting
down important points.
in
6. Preparing for the lesson before it is given by the sheikh, by studying the lesson and
looking into any problematic issues to ask the sheikh about them after the lesson
@
7. If the student has access to more extensive books in the field of the lesson, such as in
Aqeedah, they should refer to the explanations to familiarize themselves with the
scholars' opinions before the sheikh's explanation for a better understanding.
8. If the student has companions who can study and prepare with them, this is good,
provided that the companionship does not waste time with talk that is more harmful
than beneficial.
9. Looking at the face of the sheikh "facing the speaker", paying attention to him, and
listening to his words, while preparing reasons for mental presence, such as not staying
up late, sleeping early, avoiding disputes and quarrels, and the like.
10. Noting down the benefits and stray thoughts, and if the student has a specific record
for information and benefits, then this is good
11. Recording any issues that arise during the sheikh's talk in a notebook or on an external
piece of paper to ask the sheikh about them after the lesson is completed
12. Not interrupting the speaking sheikh, not being obstinate in asking questions, not
asking a stubborn question, not showing off knowledge, not appearing as if they already
know the lesson and its content, and not correcting the sheikh's mistakes in a rude or
inappropriate manner..
13. Respecting the sheikh, behaving politely with him, and with fellow students and
fi
companions, not arguing with them unjustly, not engaging in excessive arguments even
when right, and ensuring that discussions with companions are for the sake of benefit
la
and reaching the truth, not for self-display and personal victory.
14. Reviewing the lesson, reviewing the sheikh's comments and preferences on disputed
sa
matters, and looking into the scholars' opinions to get accustomed to research,
reflection, contemplation, and understanding of religion.
15. Persist in remembering Allah and obeying Him, avoiding sins and temptations,
managing time with what is beneficial, refining and purifying oneself, asking Allah to
ito
teach what is beneficial, to benefit from what has been taught, and to increase in
knowledge.
16. Avoiding people of desire and temptation, staying away from people of partisanship
gn
and deviation, and not occupying oneself with what does not concern them.
NOTE: It is proven from the Salaf as-Salih that they would first learn Adab (manners) before
Talab (seeking knowledge). These guidelines and manners are essential and should be
co
carefully observed.

Necessary Notes
Before starting the program, it is useful to mention some important notes:
fi
2. Time Allocation: A specific time should be allocated to the program daily, and the best
times are after Fajr and Asr prayers.
la
3. Daily Program Duration: The duration of the DAILY program should be at least one
full hour.
4. Book Order: The books in the program are arranged in ascending order, so one should
sa
start with the first book until it is read and well understood, then move to the second,
then the third, and so on. If I mention several books and connect them with "or," the
student should start with the first one. If I connect them with "and," it means they are
ito
close or equal in importance.
5. Program Levels: I have divided the program in each field of knowledge into four levels,
and one should not skip the first level until it is fully understood and mastered.
gn
6. Beginner to Advanced: The first level is for beginners, and the fourth level is for
advanced learners.
7. Dedicated Days: Each day of the week is dedicated to a specific field of knowledge,
except Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, where I have included two fields that are
co
9. Study Under Guidance: Studying this program should be under a Sheikh; if not
available, then under a student of knowledge; if none is available, then through the
recordings of scholars, and one should strive to read diligently. Beware of arrogance and

The Daily Program
sa
1. Reading a portion of the Quran daily: This can be done either all at once or in
intervals throughout the day, and it should be maintained regularly. Utilize the time
ito
between the adhan (call to prayer) and iqama (start of the prayer) as it is a virtuous time
and helps in catching the first row in prayer.
2. Memorizing five lines (at least) from the Quran daily: Note that the last line should
gn
include the end of a verse.
3. Reading five pages (at least) from the book "Al-Lu'lu' wal Marjan fima Ittafaqa
Alayhi Al-Shaykhan Al-Bukhari wa Muslim" authored by Muhammad Fu'ad
'Abdulbaqi: This should be done regularly until it is fully understood.

Note: Remember what sheikh Usamah said about using OR or AND when he mentions the
books? If not, that means you either forgot it or didn't read through the guidelines. So go
in
back.
@
And if there's something that wasn't clear to you in the first or third book. For example you
came across a section, a sentence or etc. that you didn't understand. Then refer to the:
Many students fail to understand a lot of knowledge and do not benefit much from their
readings because they rush to read advanced books that require prior foundational
knowledge. The reason for this is often impatience, as the student wants to become a
fi
scholar in a month! Therefore, it is appropriate for the student of knowledge to start
with easy, accessible books and then move on to more difficult and extensive ones. This
la
matter has been somewhat clarified in this program.
sa
2. Choosing Books that are Easier in Style and Closer to Understanding:
This involves pausing at each beneficial point and is an important practice. The aim of
this is to achieve memorization with understanding. True memorization requires
in
repetition that fixes the information or statement in the mind. One should focus on
memorizing concise texts in the sciences that help recall information and solve many
@
problems. This includes memorizing the Quran or parts of it, memorizing The Three
Fundamental Principles or Sheikh Hafiz's "Nadhm Sulam al-Wusul," which includes
the three fundamentals and more—although The Three Fundamental Principles is
easier and more well-known.
Other texts include memorizing the Forty Hadith of Imam Nawawi, "Umdat al-Ahkam"
by Abdul-Ghani al-Maqdisi, and memorizing Al-Bayquniyya in Hadith terminology or
Nukhbat al-Fikr, and other similar concise texts that help in solidifying knowledge.
6. Reviewing Information:
fi
○ Studying with peers and reviewing the book's issues with them.
la
○ Teaching what one has read, understood, and studied to someone less
knowledgeable or someone of the same level.
sa
It is beneficial for a teacher to train their students in this method as it is effective for
solidifying information, but the student must be kept in check so they do not get ahead
of themselves too soon. ito
○ Writing research papers and articles related to their studies and presenting them
to peers, those more knowledgeable, or ideally to the teacher. Writing research
requires study, contemplation, and reflection, which has numerous benefits and
gn
helps build a strong foundation for the student of knowledge.
If the knowledge pertains to belief, it should be firmly held in the heart and believed in.
If it involves worship or a Sunnah, it should be practiced and performed as it is. If it
in
addresses a mistake, one should correct it. If it concerns innovation, one should warn
against it, and so on.
