Pearl of Wisdom

Action is unacceptable when based on any of three things: polytheism, infidelity and one's own opinion. When asked what action based on an opinion meant, he replied, 'It is when you leave the Book of Allah and the practice of His Prophet and act upon your own opinion.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]
