Al ‘Allāmah ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Nāṣir al-Sa’adī رحمة الله عليه
said, “Were it not for knowledge, people would be like
animals, stumbling in the dark, blindly wandering in misguidance. So it is the light one is guided by in the midst
of compounded darkness and is the life of the hearts and souls, and of the religion and the hereafter.
There is no
good in residing in a land that does not contain someone clarifying to people
the affairs of their religion and directing them with that which they direly
need in those affairs that befall them. Concerning one who imparts such
goodness and has such an impact, how could it
not be mandatory for every muslim to love and respect them, and to undertake their rights?”
