0:32 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
0:35 Whoever desires to elevate their structure must secure its foundation, reinforce it, and attend to it with great care.
0:43 For the height of a structure is proportional to the strength of its foundation.
0:48 Deeds and spiritual ranks are the structure, and their foundation is faith.
0:53 When the foundation is secure, it supports the structure and allows it to rise.
0:59 If any part of the structure collapses, it is easy to repair.
1:04 But if the foundation is not secure, the structure will neither rise nor remain stable.
1:09 And if any part of the foundation collapses, the structure falls or is on the verge of falling.
