The question

What are your tips and guidance regarding my methodology for seeking knowledge alone, which includes studying Tajweed, memorizing the Quran, dedicating each month to studying different disciplines such as Aqeedah and Fiqh, memorizing two texts and three hadiths weekly, along with daily revision and memorization of the Quran, and studying scholars' commentaries on these texts?

The answer

You should benefit from the skilled scholars in your country in what is well-established and conforms to the People of Sunnah. As for books, start by progressing from the lower to the higher levels. In Creed: Al-Usul Ath-Thalatha (The Three Fundamental Principles) and Kitab At-Tawhid (The Book of Monotheism), then At-Tahawiyyah and As-Saffariniyyah. In Fiqh: Al-Fiqh Al-Muyassar (Simplified Fiqh), then a madhhab text such as Dalil At-Talib or Zad Al-Mustaqni', then the more extensive works. In Usul al-Fiqh: Matn Al-Waraqat, then the broader works. In Tafsir: Aysar At-Tafasir (The Easiest Interpretations), then Tafsir Ibn Kathir and Al-Baghawi. Do not neglect the aspect of ethics and spiritual purification by reading Mukhtasar Minhaj Al-Qasidin and Ad-Da' wa Ad-Dawa' (The Disease and the Cure). In Hadith: Al-Arba'in An-Nawawiyyah (An-Nawawi's Forty Hadith), then Umdat Al-Ahkam, then Bulugh Al-Maram with easy explanations. In Grammar: Sharh Al-Muqaddimah Al-Ajurrumiyyah by Muhyi Ad-Din Abdul Hamid, then Sharh Al-Qatr by Ibn Hisham. Be keen on sincerity and supplication, and you can benefit from the audio library of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen.
