KNOWLEDGE OF ALLAAH IS LIGHT

 KNOWLEDGE OF ALLAAH IS LIGHT

Imaam ash-Shaafi'ee (رحمه الله) said,

"I complained to Wakee' about the poorness of my memory. So he directed me to abandon disobedience. And informed me that the knowledge of Allaah is light. And that the light of Allaah is not given to the disobedient."¹

Imaam Maalik said to Imaam ash-Shaafi'ee (رحمه الله), 

"I see that Allaah has placed light in your heart so do not extinguish it with the darkness of disobedience."²
