"The Sharee’ah is the
guide by way of which the servants are guided to the truth. Their nobility is
established in accordance with how much they embrace its rulings – through
acting upon them in speech, belief and deeds – and not merely due to the level
of their intellects or their nobility amongst their people.”
Imaam Ash-Shaatibee
Al-Itisaam 3/434
