Foolishness Kills

Hanna Ahamath

"Seek knowledge, because seeking it for the sake of Allah is a worship. And knowing it makes you more God-fearing; and searching for it is jihad, teaching it to those who do not know is charity, reviewing and learning it more is like tasbeeh. Through knowledge Allah will be known and worshipped. With the knowledge Allah will elevate people and make them leaders and imams, who will in turn guide other people." [Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya vol.10, p.39]

The Prophet (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam) said:

“If a certain status has previously been decreed by Allaah for a person, and he does not attain it by his deeds, Allaah afflicts him in his body or wealth or children.”
(Narrated by Abu Dawood, 3090; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in as-Silsilah as-Saheehah, no. 2599)

Foolishness Kills

A foolish man may be known by six things:
Anger without cause,
speech without profit,

change without progress,
inquiry without object,
putting trust in a stranger,
and mistaking foes for friends.
