Six stages to knowledge


Ibn al-Qayyim- rahimahullaah- said:

"There are six stages to knowledge:
  • Firstly: Asking questions in a good manner.
  • Secondly: Remaining quiet and listening attentively.
  • Thirdly: Understanding well.
  • Fourthly: Memorising.
  • Fifthly: Teaching.
  • Sixthly- and it is its fruit: Acting upon the knowledge and keeping to its limits."

Miftaah Daarus-Sa 'aadah ( p.283)
