Advice to women seeking Islamic knowledge

Question

Assalamu alaikum I am studying the first year of Alimah course and I wanted to ask you the how I can gain the most of my course. How do I become a good Muslimah as a good example and make the most of my Ilm (knowledge)? What is the best thing to do for memorization and how can I gain the most benefit in my course? You have for sure, completed the course so would know how to gain the maximum benefit and ways it can be achieved to please Allah SWT. JazakAllahu Khayr.

Answer

First of all, you should try to avoid committing sins and should recite the Du'a "Rabbi zidni ilma" and "Rabbish-Rahli Sadri Wa Yassirli Amri wah lul Uqdatam-Mil-lisaani yafqahu qauli" 7 times after each Salaah. Secondly, be practical on whatever you have learnt. Practicing on whatever you know, will be the perfect invitation to your family members, who will watch you closely. Third advice is to always be obedient to your parents. There is no compromise on this issue, so much so that if a person's parents are non-Muslim, he/she still has to fulfill their rights. Never argue with them on their lack of practice on deen, or point out how much you practice on your deen, this will only alienate them from you. And last but not least, make Dua to Allah SWT. He is our creator, He gives us blessings and He gives us tests, only He has the power to make our lives better. Ask Him for every need that you have, and make this your habit in times of happiness or sorrow, after all, He is all-hearing, all-seeing. May Allah grant you steadfastness in deen and happiness in life, Aamin.

And Allah knows best.
