Imaam Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah):
”After fulfilling what Allaah has obligated (i.e. through knowledge that is Fard Ayn); there is (nothing) more virtuous than seeking knowledge (i.e. knowledge that is Fard Kifaayah) by way of which the slave seeks to get closer to Allaah.”

Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:
Unity; oneness of purpose and truthful co-operation upon truth in every Ummah, is without a doubt the underlying reason for success, victory and nobility in this life and the next.

Besides the fact that this lecture was an advice for the women in particular, it should also serve as a reminder for those men who hang around just because they like the personalities of certain people; so when those people are absent or deviated, they also disappear or deviate. Fear Allaah! You’ll not be accompanied by anyone else in your grave.
The truthful slave does not see himself except as one who is deficient, and what necessitates this view are [the following]: He [considers what] he seeks after [i.e. sincerity, obedience to Allaah and His Messenger etc] to be great; [considers] himself insignificant and knows his defects, and [considers] himself as having sent forth little deeds for the Aakhirah.
[Madaarij As-Saalikeen 2/293. abridged]
Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:
”The highest level of truthfulness: It is the level of the Siddeeqeen, which is complete submission to the (command) of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) alongside perfect sincerity to the One who sent him as a Messenger (i.e. Allaah).”
