How to become Knowledgeable

[@muwahh1d1]

If one builds good reading habits, they can read up to 100 pages a day. Multiply that by 365 (days in a year) and that’s 36500 pages a year! If we take the average academic book to be 300 pages (and this can argued to be on the high-end) then that’s ~121 books a year! It’s hard to grasp just how much knowledge one could actually attain from 121-300 paged books. Even half of that number, 60, is still an astounding number and a plethora of knowledge could be acquired from such. 50 pages may only take 1 hour a day. Consistency my brothers and sisters, consistency!

[@Nazmanga]

Most definitely, habits built over time is the way. Even 15minutes a day will translate to how many books read in a year. 😊

[@fizzymizzy_]

may Allah help us build this habit, and grant us knowledge to benefit others and ourselves

“No patient enough to finish even a video” is an understatement. I like that you address this issue, where people want to become knowledgeable over night. Anyways we in the Umma really need to read the Islamic books; from BUkhAri to the Ihya Ulum-Id-Din to Riyadu-salahin. And I can’t stress enough, read what you like or interest in. The best advice or take away is don’t force it. 😊

[@Abd.Al-Malik]

Jzk brother, may Allah reward you. For consideration: Becoming knowledgeable also requires implementing (acting/practising) upon attained knowledge. Not adopting the ideas and concepts will make knowledge fade away. Also for the one who is carefully reading into you it will not come accross as authentic. What is the benefit of attaining information for the sake of information. Knowing and realizing are not synonymous as such the fruit of knowledge is taqwa. Knowledge should have an effect. It is of no use if people can visit a person who is able to share the ruling on numerous issues, in absense of passing on the mission (strive) to change the reality of our lives as individuals or society as a whole, to become in harmony with the ruling (in absolute terms). As it is known that the Prophets (pbut) dealt with the illnesses of their people (society), that which was infront of them. Thus the reality and practical (alternative) solutions. Also from what the brother mentioned, but from a slight different angle. (In dawah) most beneficial knowledge is the practical knowledge. That what is needed in dawah to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. It is the preformance of dawah which reveals the area of required knowledge. Someone may touch upon a subject which is unknown to you, which should motivate you to research. And sometimes you think you understood a topic until you are met with critical questioning, which should motivate you to revisit, broaden and deepen your understanding of the topic. This knowledge is practical and thus beneficial.

It depends on what you wish to acquire knowledge in. I advise everyone to first start eith the Qur'an. You acquire knowledge and gain ample reward at the same time. It also teaches you to be patient with reading if you're not the reading type. You will gradually find yourself picking up books od Serah (biography) and hadith (narrations) and Tafsir (exegesis) to get a deeper understanding.

[@form.of.dhikr2]

Read casually- dont read with intention to finish the book. When you get tired and want to stop reading, stop reading. Low concentration=low understanding so its good to take a break and get back to it. Start with what you enjoy, finish by reading what benefits. When you enoy you retain more. Make notes, potentially in beginning of book with reference to what page too. Acting upon ilm and teaching it helps in keeping content inside. You retain more when you share.

[@mrtransmogrify]

On the book about the prophecies about Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, it seems like many of the wordings of the OT text is taken from sources that Jews/christians don’t use as their main wording (the book references the findings in Qumran frequently). Wouldn’t they just say that they reject anything other than the masoretic text and kill the discussion? For example the prophecy in Isaiah 21 talking about the people of Kedar being humiliated within 1 year in the popular text, while the book mentions the Q form text which says 3 years which fits the Prophet ﷺ etc. ?
