Seeking sacred knowledge is a tremendous act of devotion and possesses great merit. It can be acquired at any age, and shortcomings in acts of worship do not contradict its pursuit; rather, knowledge may increase faith. The Arabic language is important for the seeker of knowledge, and there are various books for beginners in grammar, rhetoric, and dictionaries. Seeking sacred knowledge does not contradict worldly work, and Allah has guaranteed the provision for the pious.
