Dear Beloved Son: Extracts 3

My Dear Son,


Knowledge without action is insanity, and action without knowledge is vanity.
Know that knowledge today will not distance you from sins, nor bring you into obedience,
nor distance you from the Fire of Hell tomorrow.
If you don not act today, and do not derive lessons from your past days
You will say on the last day:
“Return us to our previous life and we will do good deeds”,
and it will be said to you:
“Oh fool, it is from there you have come.”



Has not the time yet come for those who believe
that their hearts should be humble for the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth?
[57:16]
