This timely and important reminder by Uways aṭ-Ṭawīl focuses on a key issue facing many Muslims today: choosing the right sources for learning Islam. He explains that Islamic knowledge is not just information, but a trust and a form of worship. For this reason, it must be learned from reliable scholars who are known for correct ʿaqīdah, sound methodology, and good character.
The lecture warns against relying on unqualified speakers, online influencers, and fragmented learning from social media. While access to information is easier than ever, true understanding requires proper guidance, patience, and structured study. Uways aṭ-Ṭawīl encourages listeners to verify what they hear, avoid rushing to give opinions, and focus on building a strong foundation before engaging in teaching or debate.
He also highlights that sincere students value long-term growth over popularity and consistency over quick results. Real knowledge develops through humility, dedication, and companionship with trustworthy teachers. This reminder is especially relevant in the modern age, where confusion and misinformation are widespread. It provides clear principles to help believers seek knowledge wisely and responsibly.
