Benefits (3)

A benefit from Brother Alee bin Rasheed al'Afaree of aloloom Arabic site.
A few lines of poetry.
 
إذا نطق السفيه فلا تجبه
فخير من إجابته السكوت
إذا كلمته فرجت عنه
وإن خليته كمدا يموت

which means: "If the fool starts speaking, don’t answer him;

silence is better than responding to him.
If you answer him he is relieved;

 and if you avoid him he will die with grief.  

"Not everyone adorned with knowledge ..."

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

“Not everyone adorned with knowledge and wisdom and is portrayed with it is from its people; rather the people of knowledge and wisdom are those who give life to their hearts by killing the desires. As for the one who kills his heart and thus gives life to desires, then knowledge and wisdom are (merely) on his tongue (i.e. not acting upon such knowledge and wisdom).”

 [Al-Fawaa-id: page:154]

And Allaah is able to do everything...

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ الْحَيَوةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنْزَلْنَـهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الاٌّرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ الرِّياحُ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا

“And mention the parable of the worldly life: it is like the water which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it, and becomes fresh and green. But (later) it becomes dry and broken pieces, which the winds scatter. And Allah is able to do everything.”

(Al-Kahf, 18:45)

Preoccupy Yourself With Knowledge

Imaam Muqbil bin Haadee al-Waadi`ee (رحمه الله) said:

"What I advise myself and everyone is pre-occupation with knowledge.  The worries of the worldly life do not have an end; so beware of pre-occupying yourselves with the difficulties of life, for had we pre-occupied ourselves with them, we would not have been able to seek knowledge."
