He warns that knowledge is a trust and a means of drawing closer to Allah not a tool for argument fame or dominance over others. He urges students to discipline the soul through patience worship and self accountability to act upon what they learn to value time and avoid wasting it and to keep the company of righteous scholars and people of good character. He concludes that true success in seeking knowledge lies in sincerity humility consistency and transforming knowledge into righteous action.
