These scholars wasted their influence by participating in political games, shifting alliances and constantly changing sides. This pursuit consumed valuable time that could have benefited the nation. Furthermore, even sincere scholars, when demanding change, have focused on Islamic law, not a complete Islamic system.

True humanity is defined by setting and striving towards goals. Achieving any significant objective requires dedicated effort, perseverance, and self-discipline. Success demands overcoming base instincts and enduring hardship. Just as a diver must descend into the ocean to retrieve pearls, one must work tirelessly to attain a higher station in life. Those who seek elevation without exertion will find their lives wasted in futile thinking. Genuine progress necessitates consistent effort and a willingness to sacrifice comfort for achievement.
