Hazrat Abu Darda'a said: He who thinks that to go at dawn in search of knowledge is not jihad is deficient in intellect.
التكفير مأخذه كمأخذ سائر الأحكام الشرعية، فتارة يُدرك بيقين، وتارة بظن غالب، وتارة يُتردد فيه، ومهما حصل تردد فالتوقف فيه عن التكفير أولى، والمبادرة إلى التكفير إنما تغلب على طبائع من يغلب عليهم الجهل
