Knowledge without work is insanity, and work without knowledge is vanity. Know that any science which does not remove you today far from apostasy, and does not carry you to obedience, will not remove you tomorrow from the fire of hell.

Additional quotes by Al-Ghazali

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.
