إعلم أيها الحريص المقبل على إقتباس العلم، المظهر من نفسه صدق الرغبة، وفرط التعطش إليه أنك إن كنت تقصد بالعلم المنافسة، والمباهاة، والتقدم على الأقران، واستمالة وجوه الناس إليك، وجمع حطام الدنيا؛ فأنت ساع في هدم دينك، وإهلاك نفسك، وبيع آخرتك بدنياك؛ فصفقتك خاسرة، وتجارتك بائرة، ومعلمك معين لك على عصيانك، وشريك لك في خسرانك، وهو كبائع سيف لقاطع طريق.

Bonding and communicating are aspects of action — proof of the extent of transformation through attaining the goal that we had intended. The power to bond with others is an extraordinary human power. It comes in the true sense when bonding develops from the heart and not from either the intellect or the passions. It comes from a deep love for one’s fellow human being and arises when we try to meet the needs of others before our own needs, much like a mother with her new born child.

"Abdullah Ibn Dinar relates, "Once I was walking with the Caliph Omar near Mecca when we met a shepherd's slave-boy driving his flock. Omar said to him, "Sell me a sheep."

"No, he won't," said the boy, "but God will." Omar then wept, and, sending for the boy's master, purchased him and set him free, exclaiming, "For this saying thou art free in this world and shalt be free in the next." There
