Gems from Shaykh Waleed Basyouni’s Khutbah
Posted by themanoffewwords under Quotes, Reflections
I recently attended a khutbah by Shaykh Waleed Basyouni which was artfully conducted in both Arabic and English. In it he had two quotes, which I paraphrase here. that I thought are worth sharing.
“Being a true faqih [one with true understanding of religion] does not mean knowing the difference between good and evil but knowing the better of two good deeds and the worst of two evil deeds.”
“A man is like a zero. His true value is based on where he places himself, before or after a number.”
