“I heard Ali (MGB) tell Abil Tufayl Amer ibn Vasele’ al-Kanani: ‘O Abil Tufayl! There are two forms of knowledge: The knowledge over which people must ponder, and that is the knowledge of the religion, and the knowledge which cannot be pondered over, that is the Might of the Honorable the Exalted God.’”
