The golden secret in mastering any branch of knowledge

The Grand Imam of Nahw (Arabic grammar), Al-Khalil ibn Ahmad b.100AH (from the teachers of Imam Al-Sibawayh himself), has some golden advice on how to achieve mastery of a subject:

"No one will attain what he needs to know in Nahw, except after learning that which he has no need of."
This was reported by the historian Salah-al-Din Al-Safadi in an encyclopedic work who commented further:
"Every subject is like this, a man will not attain mastery until he obtains that which he does not require."
Sheikh Abdul-Fattah Abu Ghuddah mentions the above in his footnotes and commented further, highlighting its importance today.
I say: You see many students of knowledge nowadays, in particular Westerners who in either foolish eagerness or academic arrogance try to rush knowledge by skipping steps in the traditional curriculum with the excuse of 'needing to know whats important' or 'skipping what is irrelevant to our times' or 'skipping outdated rules, ideas, concepts, texts and topics'. You see them saying absurd things like "Nahw is not that important, You don't have to study all that long and tiresome fiqh from the old days, or what's the point in learning Sarf..." etc.
These people will never master the Islamic sciences, let alone the religion itself. Never take knowledge from those who dismiss entire fields of Islamic knowledge and/or do not show respect to the scholarship and Imams of the past.
When I first started studying, I was one of them, And the more I learned what I thought I didn't need; the more I realized how much I needed to know what I didn't need, to master what I needed.

The evidences found in the Qur'an are like nutrition which everyone benefits from it.

The Qualifications Needed for the Commentary of the Qur'an by Umer Ansari

One of the greatest challenge the Muslims in the West are facing is having an authentic and proper English tafsir (explanation or commentary) of the Quran. Mufti Abdullah Nana posted a series of tweets to discuss this, which I have compiled below with other beneficial comments. I hope you will find it beneficial:
"An important notion that must be corrected for Muslims living in the West is regarding qualifications needed to interpret/translate Quran.
Many Muslims mistakenly think that learning basic Quranic Arabic automatically makes a person qualified to translate & even interpret Quran.
Allamah Suyuti has written a book on the requirements needed for interpreting and commenting on the Quran. (See the book
https://t.co/4inJRfUyeP)
He states that a mastery of 15 Islamic sciences is needed for a person to comment on the Quran!
‪#‎dauntingtask‬ (https://t.co/5kf2dhsa7c)
I am deeply disturbed in the West to see tafsir clases run by people who studied basic Arabic & unqualified speakers commenting on Quran.
A half-baked doctor is a danger to your life, & a half-baked scholar is a threat to your religion. May Allah protect us all.
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم: من تكلم في القران برايه فقد اخطا و في رواية : فليتبوا مقعده من النار ، رواه الترمذي و ابو داود
The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever speaks regarding the Quran based on his own opinion has indeed erred... & (should prepare his abode in the hell fire)" (Abu Dawood)
The public needs to make an effort to discern between qualified scholars who have official training in translating the Quran & who don't.
By the grace of Allah, in the Islamic University which I studied, we translated the entire Quran twice under the supervision of a teacher."
Comments of Shaykh Musa Furber:
"And it's something Muslims should be held to when evaluating & endorsing anything related to the Quran.
There are also conditions related to the individual, like being upright & qualified to transmit knowledge."
