من يرد الله به خيرًا يفقه في الدين

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) A person’s proper understanding of the religion is a sign of piety and guidance. And the opposite is true. When he does not have such understanding, it is a sign of his failure and misguidance.<br>
2) Proper understanding of the religion is such knowledge that prompts a person to act rightly. He who possesses knowledge and does not act upon it does not actually have proper understanding of the religion.<br>
3) Allah Almighty wills good for His servants. Yet, some people, due to their wrongdoing and ignorance, deprive themselves of that good. {And when they deviated, Allah caused their hearts to deviate.}
