(12) TWELVTH SIGN: Another sign of the learned man of the next world is that he saves himself from innovations even though the people are unanimous on innovations and novelties. He is rather diligent in studying the conditions of the companions, their conduct and character and their deeds. They spent their lives in jihad, meditation, avoidance of major and minor sins, observation of their outer conduct and inner self. But the greater object of thought of the learned men of the present time is to teach, compose books, to make argumentation, to give Fatwa, to become mutawali of Waqf estates, enjoy the properties of orphans, frequent the rulers and enjoy their company.

Additional quotes by Al-Ghazali

We attest that He is the Willer of all things that are, the ruler of all originated phenomena; there does not come into the visible or invisible world anything meager or plenteous, small or great, good or evil, or any advantage or disadvantage, belief or unbelief, knowledge or ignorance, success or failure, increase or decrease, obedience or disobedience, except by His will. What He wills is, and what He does not, will not; there is not a glance of the eye, nor a stray thought of the heart that is not subject to His will. He is the Creator, the Restorer, the Doer of whatsoever He wills. There is none that rescinds His command, none that supplements His decrees, none that dissuades a servant from disobeying Him, except by His help and mercy, and none has power to obey Him except by His will.

Di sana masih terdapat pula setengah-setengah orang yang mahu berbincang mengenai zat syaitan itu sendiri. Adakah ianya jisim yang seni atau bukan jisim? Sekiranya ia jisim bagaimana ia boleh memasuki tubuh badan manusia?

Sebenarnya pertanyaan seperti ini adalah membuang masa dan tidak berfaedah sama sekali. Hal ini bolehlah diumpamakan seperti seorang yang dimasuki ular ke dalam pakaiannya dan ia mahu mengeluarkannya serta mencegah bahayanya, tetapi yang dicari ialah warna ular itu, rupanya, ukuran panjangnya dan ukuran lebarnya. Ini adalah suatu kebodohan yang tidak diperlukan.
