" "INTELLECT AND ITS NOBLE NATURE. The noble nature of knowledge has been revealed through intellect. Intellect is the source and fountainhead of knowledge and its foundation. Knowledge is like the fruit of a tree and it flows from intellect, or like the light of the sun or like the vision of the eye. Why should it not be honored when it is the cause of fortune in this world and the next? What is there to distinguish between beasts and men except intellect? Even a ferocious beast which has got more strength than man fears a man at seeing him as it knows that he may put him into snare on account of his intellect.

أما بعد فإن الدنيا عدوة لله عز وجل بغرورها ضل من ضل وبمكرها زل من زل فحبها رأس الخطايا والسيئات وبغضها أم الطاعات رأس القربات وقد استقصينا ما يتعلق بوصفها وذم الحب لها في كتاب ذم الدنيا من ربع المهلكات ونحن الآن نذكر فضل البغض لها والزهد فيها فإنه رأس المنجيات فلا مطمع في النجاة إلا بالانقطاع عن الدنيا والبعد منها لكن مقاطعتها إما أن تكون بانزوائها عن العبد ويسمى ذلك فقرا وإما بانزواء العبد عنها ويسمى ذلك زهدا.
