Stages of Seeking Knowledge Every Muslim Must Know | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAU

So many Muslims today are passionate about studying Islam. But let’s be real: most of us start off the wrong way. We binge random lectures on YouTube, scroll through reminders on Instagram, or even ask ChatGPT to explain complex issues, thinking that’s enough to make us grow. Others jump from one book to the next with no plan, memorise nothing, never revise, and want to dive into evidences and differences of opinion from day one. But that’s not how the scholars sought Islamic knowledge. And that’s not the path that leads to understanding. In this lesson, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan shares the blueprint for seeking knowledge the right way: sincerity before anything else, the Qur’an as your foundation, teachers over self-study, and the gradual stages every student must pass through. He explains the dangers of skipping ahead, why structure is more important than hype, and how true knowledge should raise you in rank with Allah when it’s paired with action. If you’ve ever felt unstructured, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, this is the roadmap you’ve been missing.
