1495. ENCOURAGING THE LEARNING OF RELIGION

(وَما كانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لِيَنْفِرُوا كافَّةً فَلَوْلا نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِنْهُمْ طائِفَةٌ لِيَتَفَقَّهُوا فِي الدِّينِ وَلْيُنْذِرُوا قَوْمَهُمْ إِذا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ) .¹

"Yet it is not for the faithful to go forth en masse. But why should not go forth a group from each of their sections to become learned in religion, and to warn their people when they return to them, so that they may beware?" ²
