Summary of the work :

How to learn Islam?

Imam al-Ajurri said:

“During the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him), people came from Arab tribes and distant villages. Small groups from every town and village accepted Islam and learned what was obligatory on them. Then, they returned to their tribes, taught them Islam and the faith in accordance with what the Prophet (peace be upon him) had taught them. Furthermore, they taught people what was lawful and what was unlawful. Those who had learned from the Prophet (peace be upon him) explained to their people that the Prophet (peace be upon him) had told them such and such a thing.

Allah said [approximate translation of the meanings of the verses]:

“Believers do not have to leave all their homes. Why wouldn't a few men from each clan come and learn religion, so that when they return they can warn their people so that they are on their guard? » (Surah 9: Repentance, verse 122.)

This indicates, and Allah knows best, that whenever these people went to the Prophet (peace be upon him), they accepted Islam and learned their religion. He (peace be upon him) encouraged them to memorize the Sunnah if they could, so that they would return to their families and teach them what they had learned from him (peace be upon him).”
