Imam Ali (AS) said, The one who acts with ignorance is like one who is travelling on the wrong path, so his effort in moving forward adds nothing for him but distance from his goal.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلعامِلُ بِجَهْل كَالسّائِرِ عَلى غَيرِ طَرِيْق فَلا يَزيدُهُ جِدُّهُ فِي السَّرِّ إلاّ بُعْداً عَنْ حاجَتِهِ
