An Encouragement For all of Us Still Learning The Arabic Language Or About to Start: [Ask Allaah For Tawfeeq, Persevere, Do What You Can Slowly & There Is No Race Against Time


Shaikh Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said that Imaam As-Sadi (rahimahullaah) told him that it has been stated about Al-Kisaa’iy – an Imaam of the people of Koofah- that he sought after [i.e. attempted to learn] the Knowledge of Arabic grammar but was not able to [accomplish it properly]. Then one day, he found an ant that was carrying some food whilst climbing a wall and kept on falling whenever it climbed up; but it persevered [or persisted] until it overcame that difficulty [or obstacle] and climbed the wall. Al-Kisaa’iy said [i.e. to himself]: This ant persevered [or persisted] until it reached its goal! So he, [also] persevered until he became an Imaam in Arabic grammar.
