Excerpts from Wisdom for the Seekers

"knowledge knocks on the door of action: it enters if the door is opened, but leaves if it does not recieve a reply. He who fails to act upon knowledge that he has gained is forever deprived of the ecstasy of supplications."
pg 12-13 "Wisdom for the Seeker: Volume 1" By Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad

"There was a time when wealth was spent to acquire knowledge. Today, knowledge is spent and squandered to acquire wealth."
p 13 'ibid'.

"Abstinence means leaving anything that may produce a negative effect on one's relationship with Allah (swt). Our elders have said taht abstinence is perfected when nothing shameful would be revealed should the heart's desires be openly displayed in the marketplace."

To conquer the desire is to acquire the characteristics of the angels, and to be conquered is to fall to the characteristics of animals."
