What is Faith?

English book, p. 68

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Reject reproof and you reject what is good Adi ibn Hatim once said: “What is acceptable to you today, was abhorrent to us yesterday; and what is abhorrent to you now will become acceptable to future generations. You will be following the true path so long as you continue to recognize what is abhorrent and refrain from rejecting what is accept­able; and so long as a learned man can stand up amongst you to admonish you without having scorn heaped on his head.” (lBN ‘ASAKIR)
