The people of the other world are pure and at peace with one another. Their hearts are overflowing with the love of God and servitude to Him.
The love for the servants of God is the shadow of that very love for God.
The noble Qur’an is a great divine trust. The ‘ulama and ruhaniyyun (clergy) are the bearers of the divine trust.
The responsibilities of the learned are very heavy; the ‘ulama have more duties than other people.
It is narrated that when the soul reaches the throat, there is no longer any chance for repentance and in that state one’s repentance will not be accepted.
If an ‘alim is deviant, it is possible that the community will become infected by deviation.
If an ‘alim is refined, and he observes the morality and manners of Islam, he will refine and guide the community.
In a soul which is unrefined, knowledge is a dark cover.
Knowledge is light, but in a black corrupt heart it spreads wide the skirts of darkness and blackness
A knowledge which would draw man closer to God, in a worldly soul brings him far distant from the place of the Almighty.
Even the knowledge of divine unity (tawhid), if it is for anything other than God, it becomes a cover of darkness.
