Which Islamic science should you prioritise?

[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_light]Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:[/FONT][FONT=wf_segoe-ui_light]The need of nations to know what is enjoined and what is forbidden is greater than their need to know the details of issues of belief concerning which belief in general terms is sufficient. As for commands and prohibitions, it is essential to know them in detail, because acting upon commands cannot be achieved unless one knows them in detail; and with regard to prohibited matters that must be avoided, it is essential to be able to distinguish between them and other things. [/FONT][FONT=wf_segoe-ui_light]End quote from al-Jawaab as-Saheeh (3/34) [/FONT][FONT=wf_segoe-ui_light]And he said: [/FONT][FONT=wf_segoe-ui_light]With regard to deeds that are enjoined, what is required concerning them is to do them, and it is not enough to believe in them in general terms. Rather it is essential to learn them in detail. This is in contrast to issues of belief, in which believing in general terms in what the Messenger brought with regard to the divine attributes and issues of the hereafter is sufficient. [/FONT]
