"Knowledge is that light that when it enters the life of a believer it demands that it be practiced upon."
(Mufti Muhammad Shafi).
This is the only form of knowledge that is guidance. All other knowledge is just information, even Islamic knowledge.
It gives me the chills whenever I hear mention of being spiritually bereft even after having studied a lot of Islamic knowledge. When I listen to Islamic lectures meant for scholarly students, and hear advice aimed at developing them spiritually and keeping them on the straight path, I am in awe. There was a time I used to imagine that studying Islam gave you wings. It doesn't. You have to discover your own wings through time, effort and understanding. Only then can you fly.
