KNOWLEDGE OPENS THE HEART

Knowledge opens the heart and expands it until it becomes wider than the world, while ignorance constricts the heart and restrains it. 

Each time the person's knowledge widens, his heart expands. 

This does not occur with all knowledge; rather, this occurs with the knowledge that is the inheritance of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. This is beneficial knowledge. 

The people of knowledge have the widest chests, the broadest hearts, and the best manners.
