How Can I Study Islam Systematically as a Doctor?
Answered by Shaykh Yusuf Weltch
Question
As a doctor who finds full-time study difficult, especially since I am doing Hifz, how can I continue my formal studies? Should I then just stick to listening to Islamic podcasts and lectures?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate.
If you cannot seek knowledge via a formal full-time Islamic studies program, the best alternative is studying privately but in person (or via live classes).
Such classes can be arranged by reaching out to local/remote scholars or by accessing the online materials available. Consider the courses offered here at SeekersGuidance. You can take classes at the frequency that best fits your schedule.
Consistency, even if one is only taking one class a week, is the aim.
