2. The importance of seeking the ‘Aqeedah (Islamic Beliefs) of the Pious Predecessors
3. The importance of having Scholars upon the Sunnah and the importance of being grateful to Allah for that great blessing
4. The importance of constantly returning to such Scholars and of travelling to seek knowledge
5. An explanation that Eemaan includes: statement of the tongue, belief of the heart and actions of the limbs; and that it increases with obedience to Allah and decreases with disobedience to Allah.
