Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim رحمه الله explained..
If the servant were to know everything, yet he did not know
his Lord, then it is as if He knows nothing at all."

A Tree which Bears Knowledge & Circumstances
Ibnul-Qayyim رحمه الله explained..
"A tree which bears
knowledge and circumstances which are earnestly striven for by all who tread
the path [to Allaah]. Thus, there is no means to obtaining these fruits except
from the tree of thikr. The larger the tree and the firer its roots, the finer
its fruits would be. As such thikr yield al desired levels of the religion,
ranging from mere wakefulness of the mind to full establishment of Tawheed. It
is the root and foundation upon which every level of the religion is built,
just as a wall is built upon its foundation, and as a roof is supported by its
walls."

Knowing Allaah - MUST READ
By: Dr. Saleh-as-Saleh (رحمه الله)
The knowledge of Allaah is the basis and foundation
of every other knowledge and it is the basis for the slave of Allaah to know his happiness and to perfect his affairs and to work for the life of the
Hereafter. We are in need of our Creator at all times. There is never a time when we are not
in need of Him, even for the twinkling of an eye. The most perfect
of the slaves of Allaah are those who worship Him by all of His Names and Attributes,
known to us.
How many of us have this knowledge, which is waajib (obligatory)
upon all the slaves of Allaah? How many of us are deprived of knowing our Lord???
