"One who has deep eemaan (faith) and knowledge usually remains quiet while in times of difficulty. One who has less eemaan (faith) and knowledge causes loud noise. Just like the ocean. have you ever seen the waves of a high tide, and how they clamor when they arrive at the beach and strike the rocks? Because the ocean near the beach is shallow, even a kid can challenge it, while in the depth of the sea it’s quiet, peaceful and full of majesty. The deeper you get in Iman and knowledge, the more peaceful you become."
- Yaser Birjas
