We can’t live without knowledge. Everything has a clear branch of knowledge. The same goes for life itself. Knowledge is a gift from God—a divine blessing—reserved for whomever He wills. However, we must not forget that to attain it, we must seek God’s favor through our own efforts. We must share our knowledge with our fellow human beings.
Furthermore, we must also realize that pleasant things do not last forever. Here, we need to reflect on the fact that we should not overreact to events that befall us, whether they are pleasant or sad. It is essential to have good and devout friends so that we can remind one another, because the path to piety is difficult and arduous.
Now, in the effort to achieve perfection, we must first pass through four things: knowledge, reason, sincerity, and submission. These serve as the main pillars for Muslims to live their lives with greater caution.
