Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: God will not accept any deed that is without recognition, and will not accept any recognition unless it is accompanied by action. If you have recognition, it will help guide your actions. If you do not act, you do not have any recognition of it. Indeed some belief in one brings about the other.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
لا يقبل الله عملا إلا بمعرفة، ولا يقبل المعرفة إلا بعمل، فمن عرف دلته المعرفة على العمل، ومن لم يعمل فلا معرفة له، إن الإيمان بعضه من بعض.
