O youth.......be assured that knowledge alone does not strengthen the hand......Though a man read a hundred thousand scientific questions and understood them or learned them, but did not work with them---They do not benefit him except by working.....Knowledge is the tree, and working is its fruit; and though you studied a hundred years and assembled a thousand books, you would not be prepared for the mercy of Allah the Exalted except by working.

He who buries his head deep into a nosebag full of food cannot hope to see the invisible world.

Work for your terrestrial life in proportion to your location in it, and work for your afterlife in proportion to your eternity in it.

Does money upset the hearts of learned men? He answered, "men whose hearts are changed by money are not learned"

Knowledge exists potentially in the human soul like the seed in the soil; by learning the potential becomes actual.

Only that which cannot be lost in a shipwreck is yours.

If you see Allah, Mighty and Magnificent, holding back this world from you, frequently trying you with adversity and tribulation, know that you hold a great status with Him. Know that He is dealing with you as He does with His Awliya’ and chosen elite, and is watching over you.
