“Moving right along to the next step, we see our real role in it all. Now it is time to be able to use the knowledge that you have been blessed with to come up with that which may not have been noticed before, or used for it in ways that have not been used before. An individual begins to understand that knowledge is nothing that simply stands still and does not produce. Rather it is a tool used for the progress and advancement of mankind, so that we can do as Allah has commanded us, and to be the vicegerent of Allah on the face of the earth. We can not possibly do this without obtaining knowledge and using it to move mankind forward.”
-Abu Abdillah Abdul Lateef
