Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah:

Shaykh ibn al-‘Uthaymeen was asked:

"Do you have an advice for the beginner student of knowledge?"

The Shaykh answered:

"The advice to every person is that he purifies his intention for the sake of Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) and his intention should neither be leadership nor prestige, nor wealth; rather his intention should be the removal of ignorance from himself and others. And he should establish the religion, defend and guard it. This is the most virtuous thing."

(Liqaa Al-Baab Al-Maftooh 226)

Ibn Taymiah said:
"The correct way to explain the Qur'an through the Qur'an itself, then through the Sunnah of the Prophet PBUH, then with the help of the comments of the Companions, and then the comments of the rightful Successors (Taba'in)"
[Majmu Al Fatawa (13/363)]
