Imam Ali (AS) said, The knowledge with the most praiseworthy end is that which increases your [good] actions in this world and draws you nearer [to the mercy of Allah] in the Hereafter.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : أحْمَدُ العِلْمِ عاقِبَةً ما زادَ في عَمَلِكَ فِي العاجِلِ وَ أزْلَفَكَ فِي الآجِلِ
