ولقد عظم على الدین جنایة من ظن أن الإسلام ینصر بإنكار هذه العلوم ، ولیس في الشرع تعرض لهذه العلوم بالنفي والإثبات ، ولا في هذه العلوم تعرض للأمور الد… - Al-Ghazali

(إعمل لدنياك بقدر مقامك فيها، و اعمل لآخرتك بقدر بقائك فيها، و اعمل لله بقدر حاجتك إليه، و اعمل للنّار بقدر صبرك عليها)

Another sign of the learned man of the hereafter is that he keeps himself distant from the ruling authorities and avoids their company, because this world is sweet, ever-new and its bridle is in their hands. He who comes near them is not free from their pleasures and harms. They are mostly unjust and do not obey the advices of the learned men. The learned man who frequents them will look to their grandeurs and then think God's gift upon him as insignificant. To keep company with the rulers is the key to evils.
