To anyone who thinks reading is a waste of time: Here is what Bahr Al-Jāḥiẓ (Islamic theologian, intellectual, and litterateur known for his individual and masterful Arabic prose) has to say.

“Had it not been for preserved wisdom and books, a great deal of knowledge would have dissipated, forgetfulness would have reigned supreme over remembrance, and people would find no recourse to spiritual shelter.”

@damonyoung From the few things I have learned about Al-Ghazālī (skeptic centuries before Hume and Descartes, Sufi, jurist, metaphysician), I want to find out more about him. Thank you for the quote and pointing me towards a work I should read! (Although, how would starting with The Incoherence of the Philosophers be? Or another of his works?)

‘A grievous crime indeed against religion has been committed by the man who imagines that Islam is defended by the denial of the mathematical sciences.’

Abū-Ḥāmid Muḥammad Ibn-Muḥammad al-Ġazzālī, Imām Al-Ghazālī’s Deliverance from Error and the Beginning of Guidance, trans. by William Montgomery Watt (Kuala Lumpur: Islamic Book Trust, 2007), p.23.
