[FONT=Palatino Linotype]QUOTE [/FONT]
[CENTER][FONT=Palatino Linotype]I advice you O seeker of knowledge to have a sincere and pure intention in your[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]search for knowledge, and that you exert yourself in acting upon what it mandates[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype](from action). This is since[COLOR=#ff0000] knowledge is a tree and action is its fruit.[/COLOR] And one can[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]never be considered knowledgeable so long as he doesn't act upon what he knows.[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]It has also been stated: [COLOR=#f4a460]"Knowledge is a parent and action is its offspring"[/COLOR] and[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]'Knowledge comes with action, while narrating comes with investigating."[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]So do not feel satisfied with actions so long as you are lacking in knowledge, nor feel[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]satisfied with knowledge so long as you fall short in producing actions. Rather,[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]combine between them both, even if your share two is small.[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]And there is nothing worse than a scholar whose knowledge the people abandon[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]because of the corruption of his ways, or an ignorant person lose ignorance the people[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]accept because of what they see from his worship.[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]So a [COLOR=#ff0000]little of this (knowledge) along with a little of that (action) is what is lost likely[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype][COLOR=#ff0000]to save you in the end[/COLOR], when Allaah bestows His mercy upon His servant and[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]completes His favour upon him. But as for laziness and negligence, love for ease and[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]comfort, preferring the easy life, showing indifference, and inclining towards leisure[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]and relaxation, then the results of these characteristics are blameworthy, detestable[/FONT]
[FONT=Palatino Linotype]and disastrous.[/FONT][/CENTER]
