If knowledge had a face

Ibn Al-Qayyim writes:
لو صُور العلم صورة ؛ لكانت أجمل من الشمس والقمر

“If knowledge had a face, it would have been more beautiful than the shams wal qamar (sun and the moon)”.["Rawdatul Muhibeen", 301].



Khateeb Al-Baghdadi writes:“So knowledge is a tree, and actions are its fruit. The one who does not act upon his knowledge is not to be counted as being a scholar. And it is said, the knowledge is the father, and actions are its offspring. And action comes after knowledge, and narration comes after investigation”.["Iqtida'ul Ilmil-Amal", 5].
