Assured Quote by Anonymous
“O youth…be assured that knowledge alone does not strengthen the hand…Though a man read a hundred thousand scientific questions and understood them or learned them, but did not work with them---They do not benefit him except by working…Knowledge is the tree, and working is its fruit; and though you studied a hundred years and assembled a thousand books, you would not be prepared for the mercy of Allah the Exalted except by working.”
