Obstacles in acquiring and gaining knowledge

Obstacles of Seeking Knowledge By Shaykh Khālid al-Dhafīrī (حَفِظَهُ الله)

Shaykh Khālid al-Dhafīrī (حَفِظَهُ الله) mentioned eight obstacles that hinder one from seeking knowledge:

1) Seeking knowledge for other than Allāh. (Absentness of sincerity)

2) Abandoning actions. (Not acting upon one’s knowledge)

3) Having reliance upon books rather than the scholars.

4) Acquiring knowledge from the youth.

5) Not advancing progressively whilst seeking knowledge.

6) Having arrogance and haughtiness.

7) Lack of patience.

8) Low determination and eagerness.
