^That reminds me of a bayt shi`r in Arabic. It goes something like:

ليس العيدُ لِمن لَبِسَ الجديدُ

لاكنَّ العيدُ لِمن إيمانهُ يزيدُ

Translation: It's not Eid for the one who wears the new clothes. Rather it is Eid for the one who's Iman increases (or has increased).

"Knowledge knocks on the door of action. If it receives a reply, it stays, otherwise it departs" Sufyyan Ath Thawree

All the above quotes are very good and I heard them before, but this one here is new to me and man it's great. It's very true, if you do not act upon knowledge, or even worse, commit sins, you will forget stuff. You'll forget the evidences for rulings, and forget things you've learned in halqahs. Worst of all, you will forget Qur'aan you've memorized. You go back to review, you will find many mistakes, or even a difficulty reading that you must overcome before it's all nice and smooth again.

The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: “To smile in the company of your brother is charity. To command to do good deeds and to prevent others from doing evil is charity.
