All Praise is due to Allāh, We praise Him and we seek help from Him.

We ask
forgiveness from Him. We repent to Him; and we seek refuge in Him from our own evils and
our own bad deeds. Anyone who is guided by Allāh is indeed guided; and anyone who has
been left astray, will find no one to guide him. I bear witness that there is no All but Allāh,
the Only One without any partner; and I bear witness that Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬, peace and
blessings on him, is His servant, and His messenger.

Nowadays, there are many people who have a lot of knowledge, but have no
manners at all. And there are also some of them who are still in the process of gaining
knowledge at the basic stage, but are already very impudent towards their teacher.

Very often it appears in the news, that there are a group of students who insult,
insult and even hit the teacher because the students don't like it, or the students don't
accept the teacher's actions, and other factors. "This phenomenon shows that the
students are poor in manners to their teachers.
Even though the scholars have explained that the position of adab is above knowledge.
This can be seen from the advice of scholars such as Imam Malik Rahimahullah, he
once said:
"Learn manners before learning a science."
Here are 14 Adab Seeking Knowledge that you need to know:
1. Choosing a Teacher. A student should consider and perform istikharah prayer
about which teacher he wants to take his knowledge from.
2. students must have good morals
3. students must look for teachers who have competence
4. Students must be Wara'
5. Gaining knowledge not because of the popularity of the teacher. Avoid gaining
knowledge because of the popularity of the teacher and leaving unpopular
knowledge experts.
6. Looking for a teacher whose learning history is clear.
7. must follow the Teacher's Directions. Students should obey their teacher in all their
affairs, and not get out of opinion or arrangement.
8. Respect teachers. The pupil should look upon the teacher with reverence and
believe in a degree of perfection in him, for in that way he has more potential to
benefit from him.
9. Calling the Teacher Politely Should not call the teacher with a name that is not
respected, nor call him from a distance, but call him with the words: "O sayyidi, O
ustadzi".
10. Last but not least. Be patient in Gaining Knowledge, because anyone who is not
patient in learning, will forever be in ignorance, and anyone who is patient will lead
