Reasons for recording a video on this topic:
1. To let applicants know in advance what they will have to face and ... encourage them to prepare for these difficulties in advance even before admission!
2. Show that the seeking knowledge is not an easy thing, and therefore requires respect and suuport from Muslim community.

Reasons why a student drops out of the university:

1. Unrealistic expectations of himself. He expects from himself that every day he will study for 8-10 hours, he will achieve high success in seeking knowledge. But faced with reality, he realizes that he cannot fulfill his expectations and falls into apathy. He is also afraid not to live up to the expectations of his brothers, saying "I will graduate from the university, they will come to me with Sharia questions, but I wasn't good at it, I have no knowledge. What will I tell them?"

2. Wife and children. The need to support them financially and emotionally brings them back to their country. Plus, inability to bring them to Medina (at least until the 3rd semester of the Faculty of the University) leads to the point that the student is forced to leave his studies.

3. Family and relatives stay at home with their support. It is especially difficult for the "domestic" type of students.

4. A foreign country, far from the usual culture and language.

5. Lack of selfsufficiency, while here each student must be able to take care of their needs.

6. Get used to a high standard of living, relative to living in a dormitory at the university.

7. Hot climate. Someone is uncomfortable, and some have health problems (blood pressure)

8. Parents who are against their son's studies in another country. Whether they miss their kids and don't want to let go of them or afraid to send them to Saudi Arabia because of stereotypes.

9. Lack of progress in the affairs of worldly life due to studying at the university. He is afraid that after spending years studying in Medina, he will not be able to arrange his worldly life. He will not be able to gain work experience, start a family, and so on. And may Allah forgive and guide the person who cares so much for this worldly life, while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

“Whoever is focused only on this world, Allah will confound his affairs and make him fear poverty constantly, and he will not get anything of this world except that which has been decreed for him. Whoever is focused on the Hereafter, Allah will settle his affairs for him and make him feel content with his lot, and his provision and worldly gains will undoubtedly come to him.”
Narrated by Ahmad 5/183, Ibn Majah 4105

As a result, under the weight of all these circumstances, the student gets instigations from the shaitan, like "may I should leave my studies and go home." If it is not possible to persuade like this, then it inspires such thoughts as "Do not leave your studies, but take an academic leave for a year. You will return with renewed vigor." If it doesn’t work out anyway, he instructs “take academic leave for one semester”, etc. while the student, unfortunately, does not leave his studies, while the Islamic ummah so needs competent knowledagble imams who will teach Islam to them on the basis of the Quran, the Sunnah with the understanding of the companions and tabiins.
