Should a student of knowledge memorize the entire Tafsir al-Sa'di, or is it sufficient to understand the meanings of the verses and read the details? And is it permissible to begin learning creed (aqidah) and jurisprudence (fiqh) without mastering Arabic? And what is the best way to learn the Arabic language in the absence of educational centers?

Learning tafsir (definition) (Quranic exegesis) involves memorizing two books: one for vocabulary, such as "As-Siraj fi Bayan Gharib Al-Quran," and another for prophetic hadiths related to the verses, and the sayings of the Companions, Tabi'in, and Imams regarding tafsir, such as "As-Sahih (definition) Al-Masbur min At-Tafsir Bil-Ma'thur."

As for fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and aqeedah (Islamic creed), a Muslim must learn the essential parts that one cannot afford to be ignorant of.

The Arabic language is important for a Muslim, and even more so for a student of Islamic knowledge, because it is the foundation for understanding the Quran and Sunnah (definition). It can be learned under a tutor or through courses and applications available online.
