Besides, learning is the best act of worship. And the closest to God of learned men and most acceptable to Him is one who fears Him most and hopes to get that which is in God's possession. Learning is the means through which prosperity is attained. It also leads to it. He - the sunnah of the Prophet and following the path of pious men as well as the paths of the best of generations created from amongst men, are all paths to success.

Again, following the path of early pious Muslims leads to success also. They are the models upon whom we should base our lives. They are the leaders in interpreting that which they interpreted. They are also to be emulated in evolving rules and regulations to govern the lives of Muslims. Although they differ, their differences do not carry them away from coming to agreement.
