How can one seek sacred knowledge? Is it by extensive reading or by accompanying scholars? If it is the latter, then how can one reach scholars of truth? And does joining Islamic universities suffice for this purpose?

Seeking sacred knowledge is one of the greatest acts of drawing closer to Allah. Allah did not command His Prophet to seek an increase in anything except knowledge. There are several ways to seek knowledge, including: accompanying scholars and engaging in study sessions with them, reading books, using CD-ROMs, and listening to audio recordings. Begin by accompanying the scholars in your own country, then travel to others, or enroll in one of the Islamic universities.
