DESCRIPTION
An excellent lecture by brother Abu Uwais Abdullaah Alee (rahimahullaah) on the topic of sticking to the Ulemaa (scholars). Amongst the matters discussed are the distinguishing characteristics of the Ulemaa who are indeed very few in our times.

The great Sahabi ‘Abdullah ibn Masood (رضي الله عنه‏) said:

“Verily, you are in a time in which the scholars are many and the speakers are few. And verily there will come a time after you in which the speakers will be many and the scholars will be few.”
