أَتَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَتْلُونَ الْكِتَابَ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ Do you order the people with righteousness and you forget (to practice it) yourselves, while you (recite the Scripture! Have you then no sense?” (2:44)
‘Umar ‘Abdul ‘Azeez رحمه الله said:
“For verily the
admonishers regarding taqwa (piety) are many, however those who act upon it are
few.”
