Hadith Dawah Worship Seeking Knowledge Self-Purification Quran Intentions & Sincerity Character & Manners

About this lecture

In this lecture, Saad Tasleem explores the critical importance of purifying one's intentions when seeking Islamic knowledge, drawing on Quranic verses, hadith, and the wisdom of classical scholars. He identifies the three wrong intentions warned against by the Prophet ﷺ — seeking knowledge to argue, to boast, or to gain attention — and presents eight correct intentions outlined by Imam Ibn Jama'a. The lecture concludes with seven practical signs by which a student of knowledge can assess the sincerity of their own pursuit.
