Dealing with the book involves several things:
- Knowing the subject of the book: so that he can benefit from it, because he needs to specialize.
- Knowing the terminologies used in the book. This is what the scholars do in the introduction to their books to save time.
- Revising the book: You will find that when you read a book for the first time, especially the academic books which are filled with knowledge, you will come across a phrase whose meaning you will have to ponder over, because you are not familiar with it. But if you read the book again you will become familiar with it.

Reading books is of two types
- Indepth Reading: Reading in depth to ponder and understand. This necessarily takes time.
- Speed Reading: A quick reading to get an idea of the subject of the book, the topics covered and the content of the book. This is done by thumbing through the book and skimming it. This does not involve the same level of thinking as the first one. The best way to read books is to ponder the meanings and seek help from scholars who have understanding.

Books may be divided into three types:
- Good books
- Bad books
- Books which are neither good nor bad.
Try to make sure that your bookshelf is free of books which have bad content. There are books of literature, but they simply kill time without producing any benefit. And there are also harmful books which contain specific ideas or promote incorrect ideology - whether that is because the methodology, understanding of ‘aqeedah, revolutionary books should not be allowed on your bookshelf, because books nourish the soul just as food and drink nourish the body. If you nourish it with books such as those it will cause you a great deal of harm.

- Being keen to read important (Classical) books: The seeker of knowledge must be keen to adhere to the major books of past, because some of the modern writers do not have deep knowledge, so if you read what they have written you will find that it is superficial. They may quote things verbatim, or they may distort them to make them longer, but it is all waffle. So It's upon you to adhere to the important reference works written by the salaf (pious predecessors).
- Collecting books: The seeker of knowledge should be keen to collect books, but he should prioritize.
