"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The scholars are the successors of the prophets. Verily, the prophets do not pass on gold and silver coins, but rather they only impart knowledge.'"
Musnad al-Bazzār 10/68

Our seminars, events, and courses focus on connecting you to them and helping you understand your religion through its authentic pure source.
"The highest in rank with Allāh are those who stand between Him and His servants — they are the Messengers and the scholars."
Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah (Tadhkirat as-Sāmīʿ, p. 70)
"Whoever wants to witness the gatherings of the Prophets, let him look at the gatherings of the scholars."
Sahl ibn ʿAbdullāh at-Tustarī
"This is because scholars are the heirs of the Messengers among their nations. They inherit their knowledge, and their gatherings are the gatherings of Prophetic succession."
Ibn al-Qayyim (Miftāḥ Dār as-Saʿādah, 1/391)
"The scholars on earth are like the stars in the sky. The lost find their way through them in the darkness. People's need for them is greater than their need for food and drink."
Ibn al-Qayyim (Iʿlām al-Muwaqqiʿīn)

يَا طَالِبَ العِلْمِ لا تَبْغِي بِهِ بَدَلًا
فَقَدْ ظفرت وَرَبِّ اللَّوْحِ والْقَلَمِ
وقَدِّسِ العِلْمَ واعْرِفْ قدر حُرْمَتِهِ
فِي القولِ والفِعْلِ والآدَابَ فَالْتَزِمِ
واجْهَدْ بعزمٍ قَوِيٍّ لَا انْثِنَاءَ لَهُ
لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْمَرْءُ قدر العِلْمِ لَمْ يَنَمِ

"O seeker of knowledge, do not seek any substitute for it,
For you have gained it by the Lord of the Tablet and the Pen.
Sanctify knowledge and know the worth of its sacredness,
In speech, action, and manners—hold firmly to them.
Strive with a strong resolve that never yields,
If a person knew the value of knowledge, they would never sleep."
— Hafidh al-Hakami
