“Is he who payeth adoration in the watches of the night, prostrate and standing, bewaring of the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, (to be accounted equal with a disbeliever)? Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Are those who know equal with those who know not? But only men of understanding will pay heed.” (39:9)

May Allah preserve him.

The Ornament of Life.

Aristotle said,
0:33
The Greek philosopher,
0:35
Who died in 322 BC,
0:40
"Education is an ornament in times of prosperity,
0:43
And a refuge in times of adversity."
0:46
Nothing compares to education in value, goodness, and beauty.
0:52
That is why it is an ornament in prosperity,
0:55
A decoration in appearance,
0:57
And a charm in life and before the eyes of people.
1:00
Through it, a person ascends,
1:02
The weak are empowered,
1:03
And the poor are elevated.
1:05
How many a disheveled, dust-covered person,
1:07
Has Allah raised through vast knowledge and fertile fiqh?
1:12
He clothes him in a crown,
1:14
And adorns him with engraved and ornate jewelry.
1:18
Its beauty lies in its language, its meanings, and its method of exposition,
1:24
In its hidden gems and scattered pearls.
1:28
This is one of the reasons people are drawn to its people and hold its bearers in high esteem.
1:34
It is also a refuge in times of adversity and a savior in times of distress,
1:39
A succor in crises and a key during trials.
1:43
It guides the way and provides the evidence,
1:46
It offers solutions and creates exits,
1:49
And it yields its fruits.
1:51
Nothing among the goods and pleasures of this world can compare to it;
1:56
It is unique and supreme among them.
1:59
Therefore, the success of students in schools,
2:03
Is contingent upon knowledge and its preservation.
2:05
If there were anything equal to it,
2:08
It would be the deciding factor in those famous examinations,
2:12
Which have become the standard for success and advancement,
2:16
And for the rise of individuals, nations, and societies.
2:20
And Allah is the Grantor of success.
