    Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام) said:
    The ignorant is one who considers himself knowledgeable about what he is [in actual fact] ignorant of, and he is content with his own opinion. His attachment to scholars only increases his estrangement [from knowledge] since he is constantly finding fault with them. He deems invalid the views of those who oppose him, and that which he does not understand he sees as fallacious. If he comes across something that he does not know, he denies it and falsifies it saying, 'I have never heard of this!' or 'I do not see it as possible! or 'How can it be!' or 'Where is this from?' This is due to his confidence in his own opinion and the paucity of his awareness of his own ignorance.

    In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
    Praise belongs to God, who created night and day through His strength, set them apart through His power, and appointed for each a determined limit and a drawn-out period. He makes each of the two enter into its companion, and makes its companion enter into it, as an ordainment from Him for His servants in that through which He feeds them and with which He makes them grow. He created for them the night, "that they might rest in it" (10:67) from tiring movements and wearisome exertions and He made it a garment for them that they might be clothed in its ease and its sleep, that it might be for them refreshment and strength, that they might reach therein pleasure and passion. He created for them the daytime, "giving sight, that they might seek within it of His bounty" (ref. 17:12) find the means to His provision, and roam freely in His earth, searching for that through which to attain the immediate in their life in this world and to achieve the deferred in their life to come. Through all of this He sets right their situation, tries their records, and watches their state in the times for obeying Him, the waystations of His obligations, and the places of His ordinances, that He may repay those who do evil with what they have done and repay those who do good with goodness. O God, to You belongs praise for the sky You hast split into dawn for us, giving us to enjoy thereby the brightness of daytime, showing us sought-after nourishments, and protecting us from the striking of blights. In the morning we and all things, every one, rise for You, the heaven and the earth and what You hast scattered in each, the still and the moving, the resident and the journeying, what towers up in the air and what hides under the ground. We rise in the morning in Your grasp, Your kingdom and authority contain us and Your will embraces us. We move about by Your command and turn this way and that through Your governing. We own nothing of the affair except what You hast decreed and nothing of the good except what You hast given. This is a fresh, new day, over us a ready witness. If we do good, it will take leave from us with praise, and if we do evil, it will part from us in blame. O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, provide us with the day's good companionship and preserve us against parting from it badly by doing a misdeed or committing a sin, whether small or great! Make our good deeds within it plentiful empty us therein of evil deeds, and fill what lies between its two sides for us with praise and thanksgiving, wages and stores, bounty and beneficence! O God, ease our burden on the Noble Writers, fill our pages for us with our good deeds, and degrade us not before them with our evil works! O God, appoint for us in each of the day's hours a share from Your servants, a portion of giving thanks to You, and a truthful witness among Your angels! O God, bless Muhammad and his Household and safeguard us from before us and behind us, from our right hands and our left hands and from all our directions, a safeguarding that will preserve from disobeying You, guide to obeying You, and be employed for Your love! O God, bless Muhammad and his Household and give us success in this day of ours, this night of ours, and in all our days, to employ the good, stay away from the evil, give thanks for favours, follow the Sunna's norms, avoid innovations, enjoin good behaviour, forbid the disapproved,bdefend Islam, diminish falsehood and abase it, help the truth and exalt it, guide the misguided, assist the weak, and reach out to the troubled! O God, bless Muhammad and his Household and make this the most fortunate day we have known, the most excellent companion we have accompanied, and the best time in which we have lingered! Place us among the most satisfied of all Your creatures whom night and day have passed by, the most thankful of them for the favours You hast done, the firmest of them in the laws You hast set down in the Shari'a, and the most unyielding of them toward the prohibited acts against which You hast cautioned! O God, I call You to witness - and You art sufficient witness - and I call Your heaven and Your earth to witness and Your angels and Your other creatures who inhabit them in this my day, this my hour, this my night, and this my resting place, that I bear witness that You art God, other than whom there is no god, Upholding justice, Equitable in judgement, "Clement to the servants" (2:207), "Master of the kingdom" (3:26), Compassionate to the creatures, and that Muhammad is Your servant and Your messenger, Your chosen from among Your creatures. You didst charge him with Your message and he delivered it; You didst command him to counsel his community and he counselled it. O God, so bless Muhammad and his Household more than You hast blessed any of Your creatures! Give him for our sake the best You hast given any of Your servants, and repay him on our behalf better and more generously than You hast repaid any of Your prophets on behalf of his community! You art All-kind with immensity, the Forgiver of the great, and You art more merciful than every possessor of mercy! So bless Muhammad and his Household, the good, the pure, the chosen, the most distinguished!
