Quotes About Knowledge Prior to Action

“The one who acts without knowledge is like a wayfarer without a way, and such a person ruins more than he fixes. Therefore seek knowledge, in a way that doesn't harm your worship, and seek worship, in a way that doesn't harm your knowledge seeking, for there was a nation that sought worship and neglected knowledge, until they went out with their swords against the ummah (nation) of Muhammad peace be upon him. Had they sought knowledge, it wouldn't have led them to what they did.

al-Hasan al-Basri

“Whoever acts upon what he knows is blessed with knowledge of what he does not know.

Ibn Taymiyyah

“He who acts without knowledge typically ends up causing more harm than good, even if he is sincere.

Yasir Qadhi

“One should think like a man of true action, and act like a man of true thought.

Yasir Qadhi

“One of the things that shows us the precedence of knowledge over action is that the first verse revealed of the Quran was "Read!" [Quran 96:1], and reading is they key to knowledge, and afterwards verses were sent down regarding actions: "O you [in your solitude] enfolded! Arise and warn! And your Lord's greatness glorify! And your clothing purify!" [Quran 74:1-4]

Yusuf al-Qaradhawi

“Whoever acts without knowledge, what he corrupts is greater than what he fixes.

Umar ibn Abdul Aziz
