Light of Wisdom

عن مالك انه بلغه ان لقمان الحكيم أوصى ابنه فقال يا بني جالس العلماء وزاحمهم بركبتيك فإن الله يحيي القلوب بنور الحكمة كما يحيي الله الأرض الميتة بوابل السماء
Malik narrated that while advising his son, Luqman Hakim said: O my son, sit in the company of the people of Knowledge (Ulama/Scholars) and draw close to them with humility. For verily Allah revives the hearts by the light of wisdom just as Allah revives the dead earth by a heavy down pour from the sky.

  1. “O my son! Man is composed of three thirds - a third for Allah, a third for himself and a third for the worms. The third that is for Allah is his soul; the third that is for himself is his actions, and the third that is for the worms is his body.”
