In this Ta'seel class, Shaykh Yaser Birjas discusses Imam Ibn Qudamah's Muqtasar Minhaj Al-Qasideen, focusing on the true essence of knowledge. He explains the categories of knowledge, differentiating between Fard Ayn (individual obligations) and Fard Kifayah (communal obligations), and outlines the four types of knowledge: fundamentals, branches, tools, and enhancers. Shaykh Yaser emphasizes that true knowledge is about understanding one's relationship with Allah and acting upon it, not just mastering technical rulings. He highlights the distortion of terms like "Fiqh" and "Tawheed" over time, urging students to reconnect with the spiritual purpose behind these concepts. The session also includes a Q&A on topics such as balancing life with knowledge, Dhikr, sincerity, and managing doubts.
