Inspiration from Past & Present
I love to honor the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah (S), and I do not read Hadith without wudu’.
—Imām Mālik [d. 179H/795CE]
(Read on pg 70, Salaahud-Deen ibn ‘Alee ibn ‘Abdul-Mawjood, Imam Sa’eed bin Al-Musayyab (Biography). Darussalam Publishers. Riyadh:2006.)
Learn knowledge. For, learning it for the sake of Allah bring about God-consciousness, seeking it is an act of worship, revising it is an act of glorifying Allah, searching for it is fighting in the way of Allah, teaching it to those who do not know it is an act of charity, and disseminating it to those who deserve it is an act of worship.
—Mu’adh b. Jabal
(Read on pg 44, Salaahud-Deen ibn ‘Alee ibn ‘Abdul-Mawjood, Imam Sa’eed bin Al-Musayyab (Biography). Darussalam Publishers. Riyadh:2006.)
It is enough an honor for knowledge that even those who are not proficient in it claim it and are happy whenever they are addressed as knowledgeable. And it is enough a condemnation for ignorance that even an ignorant person despises being called ignorant.
—’Alī b. Abī Ṭālib [d.40AH/661CE]
(Read on pg 44, Salaahud-Deen ibn ‘Alee ibn ‘Abdul-Mawjood, Imam Sa’eed bin Al-Musayyab (Biography). Darussalam Publishers. Riyadh:2006.)
Scholars are to the earth as stars are to the sky: When they appear people find guidance through them, and when they become hidden people are put in confusion.
—Abu Muslim al-Khawlanee
