Knowledge Ä°s Light

shakautu ila Waki` sua hifdhi wa arshada-ni an tark al-ma`asi wa akhbara-ni bi anna ilman nur wa nur Allah la yu`ta al-`as

The great Imam ash-Shafi,
he went to his teacher Waki` Complaining about the weakness of his memory.
He told him,
abandon rebellion,
for knowledge is a light And the light of Allah is not bestowed upon a rebel.
