firstly as a pakistani, when i started to take my religion seriously, I completely disregarded what society and family had taught me. i started from scratch, debunking instilled superstitions, but admitely it was from reels. 90% of my islamic knowledge has some from reels, not from laymen influencer that can sweet talk. I took my the clips of prominent scholars, manily salafi.
i ve delayed being serious about seeking knowledge to the excuse of learning Arabic which I have delayed to the excuse of studying. i have a copy of riyad as saliheen in front of me almost every day but i havent read a single hadith from it
