True

Imām
Ibn Al-Qayyim (d. 751 AH) said: “There are two matters that are among the
reasons for true happiness: One of them is to have detailed knowledge of all

observation of worldwide occurrences, and experimentation, both carried out by
oneself and by others, and from what has been conveyed about past and current
generations.
The
most beneficial of all [these means] is to contemplate the Qurʾān. For it is, from every conceivable angle, the most sufficient and

[clearly] as if you are able to see it before you…
