Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:
“The intellectual person is the one who recites the Qur’ān and contemplates over it. He becomes aware of the value of the worldly-life and that it is of no value [i.e. worthless] and it is a place of cultivation [to perform good deeds and actions], for the Afterlife. Therefore look to what you have sown therein, for [the betterment of] your Afterlife.”
