Worshiper , Scholar, Most Knowledgeable person need guidance: Many Intelligent and stronger people are ignorant, deviant and have gone astray

 Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“All mankid is in dire need of Allāh, the Almighty the Majestic, as it relates to guidance, no matter what level his status has reached, one should not say: ‘I am a scholar or I am a devout worshiper,’ depending on himself and being amazed with himself. 

Rather, it is incumbent upon him to recognise the [inumerous] favours of Allāh, which Allāh has bestowed upon him pertaining to guidance. For how many people has Allāh left astray who were stronger and more intelligent than him!”
