Moustawa 1 lays the essential foundations of learning through fundamental books in various fields:
Learning these fundamentals is a necessity for everyone; not a day passes in a Muslim’s life without needing the teachings contained in these books. This is the most important level, yet it is where most people give up. An army of enemies will try to discourage him, so let him place his trust in Allah and not weaken. Let him remember that seeking knowledge is among the best and most beloved acts of worship in the sight of Allah, and that knowledge is an absolute necessity for himself, his loved ones, and the community.
