Knowledge raises the low, but ignorance brings down the mighty. ~ Ali (ra)
Every Person is dead, except those who have Knowledge. 'And all those who have knowledge are asleep, except those who perform good deeds. And those who perform good deeds are cheated, except those who are sincere. And those who are sincere, are always in a condition of worry. [Imam As- Saafi'ie]
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation,... because your character is what you really are,..while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
