How should one who desires to teach others the teachings of Islam begin, and from where should the starting point be?

Knowledge of Islam and its rulings is an obligation upon every Muslim man and woman to the extent that they need it to establish their creed, acts of worship, and morals, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.”

As for teaching knowledge, it is the function of the prophets, inherited by the scholars after them, and the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets. Whoever conveys what he has learned from the religion of Allah Almighty to others is not required to be a scholar in the absolute sense; rather, it is sufficient for him to be knowledgeable about the specific thing he is conveying. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Convey from me, even if it is a single verse.”

For those seeking knowledge, they are advised to seek guidance from those who preceded them among the people of Sunnah, and to begin by focusing on the Book of Allah, memorizing and contemplating it. Then, they should memorize the Forty Hadith of An-Nawawi, and study creed by starting with "The Three Fundamental Principles," then "Kitab At-Tawhid," and Al-Aqidah Al-Wasitiyyah. In jurisprudence, it is recommended to start with simplified books such as "Arkan al-Islam" and "Fiqh al-Ibadat." For biography, "Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum" (The Sealed Nectar), and for ethics, the books of Ibn Al-Qayyim. They should also pay attention to prophetic supplications, and receive knowledge and listen to specialized scholars through channels and the internet, while observing gradual progression in seeking knowledge.
