​Oh people! Devote yourself to beneficial knowledge

I ask you by Allah, and prior to that I don't say that it is Haram for you to read the newspapers but I ask you by Allah, which is better? That you read the newspaper from the beginning to the end, or that you memorise a page from the Qur'an?

Oh my brothers! Devote yourself! Devote yourself to beneficial knowledge! Devote yourself! Some of our scholars used to when they were walking on the street look in their books at the same time. Yes, yes. They knew the value of knowledge and thus Allah raised them. And they also knew the value of the Sunnah and thus Allah raised them.

I ask Allah the Most great, to safeguard for us our religion and cause us to die as Muslims (the ones submitting to His Will).

Shaykh Muqbil bin Haadee al-Waadi'ee, may Allah have mercy upon him

قال الشيخ مقبل الوادعي رحمه الله تعالى: أنا أسألك بالله لا أحرم عليك قبل هذا قراءة الصحف لكن أسألك بالله أي أحسن؟ أن تقرأ الصحيفة من أولها إلى آخرها أوأن تحفظ صفحة من القرآن؟ يا اخواننا اقبلوا اقبلوا على العلم النافع. اقبلوا. كان بعض علمائنا يمشي في الطريق وهو ينظر في كتابه. نعم نعم. عرفوا قدر العلم فرفعهم الله، وعرفوا أيضًا قدر السنة فرفعهم الله. أسأل الله العظيم أن يحفظ علينا ديننا وأن يتوفانا مسلمين
