Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The true jurist is the one who does not make people despair of Allah’s mercy, does not permit them to disobey Allah, does not make them feel secure from Allah’s punishment, and does not turn them away from the Qur’an. Indeed, there is nothing in worship without knowledge and insight, and any knowledge without understanding is not knowledge, nor is that recitation truly recitation in which there is no reflection (thought and contemplation).
