_One of the sisters shared this reflection:_
_"I was married to a student of Islamic knowledge, yet he constantly reminded me of my illness and made me feel like a burden. That experience taught me one lesson:"_
*Never be deceived by titles, appearances, or reputation. Look at a person's character, for that is what you will live with every day.*
There are homes filled with oppression and misery despite an abundance of beards, Islamic texts, certificates, and titles. And there are homes filled with mercy, tranquillity, and kindness among ordinary Muslims who may never have studied advanced Islamic sciences, yet simply fear Allah and treat others well.
The title of _"Shaykh"_ will not lessen the pain of oppression. A long beard does not guarantee mercy, and *knowledge alone does not benefit others if it is not accompanied by good character.*
Shaykh Ibn สฟUthaymฤซn ุฑุญู
ู ุงููู said:
> *โIf the seeker of knowledge does not display virtuous character and good manners, then his pursuit of knowledge is futile.โ*

A man is not measured by what he knows, but by how he lives. And the real test of a person's religion is often found in the way they treat those under their care when no one is watching.
*_Anyone can speak about good character. The real test is living by it._*
