Imam Sufyaan ath-Thawri (rahimahullah) advised one of his Brothers:
"Today, people are not able to discern between truth and falsehood, and none will be saved from this predicament except for someone who invokes Allah with the same instensity and feeling with which a drowning man invokes Allah for help. Do you know anyone who is at that level? It used to be said: 'The time draws near for the people when the wise among them will find no joy (but will instead be constantly worried about the degeneration of Muslim society).' Fear Allah, the Possessor of might and majesty. Be a man of solitude; occupy your time with yourself (with preparing for the Hearafter); and seek companionship with the Book of Allah (Azza wa Jal)."
