(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.

رسول الله صلي الله عليه و سلم قال لبعض أصحابه : اعمل لدنياك بقدر مقامك فيها ، واعمل لآخرتك بقدر بقائك فيها ، واعمل لله بقدر حاجتك إليه واعمل للنار بقدر صبرك عليها ، و إذا أردت أن تعصي مولاك ، فاطلب مكاناً لا يراك .
