لو نَفَع العِلمُ بلا عمَل لَمَا ذَمَّ اللهُ سبحانه أَحبارَ أَهلِ الكِتاب، ولو نَفَع العَملُ بلا إخلاص لَمَا ذَمَّ المنافقين.
“If knowledge without action was of any benefit, Allah would not have criticised the Rabbis from the People of the Book, and if action without sincerity was of any benefit, He would not have criticised the hypocrites.”
The harsh truth is, in our day and age, we find many who don’t apply the knowledge they have gained. Rather, they use it for their own personal benefit and advancement. The religion has become a vehicle to fulfil their own purposes, objectives, and goals.
قال الخطيب البغدادي رحمه الله: كما لا تنفع الأموال إلا بإنفاقها، كذلك لا تنفع العلوم إلا لمن عَمِل بها.
Khateeb Al-Baghdadi said: “Just as money is of no benefit unless it is spent, likewise knowledge is of no benefit except for those who act upon it.”
قال مالك بن دينار: العبد إذا تعلم العلم لغير العمل زاده فخرًا.
Malik ibn Dinar said: “If a servant learns knowledge for other than action, it only increases him in pride.”
I will conclude by saying: we have too many wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Ibn Qayyim mentioned something powerful:
