Imam Ali (AS) said, Take from every knowledge the best of it, for indeed the bee partakes from the most beautiful of every flower, so two precious substances are produced from it: in one of them is a cure for the people, and the other is a means of illumination. (Ghurar al-Hikam – h. # 6943)

Ramadan
It is mentioned in the narrations that the holy month of Ramadan is the spring of hearts, the spring of the Holy Qur’an. This does not refer to that heart which is in our chest, or the heart behind the ribs of our chest, but instead that heart which is of our soul, that which is the true and sensational heart of the human being. This heart of the soul passes through different seasons as well – spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
