Question As-salamu `Alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!) I have made up my mind after graduation to memorize the Qur'an and Hadiths and to read useful books in order to be a caller to Allah and benefit the people. Two months had passed and I did not memorize anything because I got bored of reading.

Question Peace be upon you! I want to study politics and Islamic economics, and I know I should have a strong Shari`ah knowledge. I have memorized the whole Qur'an and would like to know what I should study in regard to Fiqh, Hadith, and `Aqidah? I've looked at the curriculum of the Institute for Preparing Preachers in Egypt, and I found that the books they study are "Bulugh Al Maram" in Hadith, "Ma`arij Al Qabul"  in `Aqidah and "Manar As-Sabil" in Fiqh. What is your opinion in this curriculum?
