It has been recalled through a series of memoirs that Imam on several occasion advised that an Islamic scholar’s saying should always match his actions. Any gap between utterances and actions would be a treachery and breach of trust between him and the public.
Imam used to cite several verses and the Islamic traditions which stresses and put emphasis on coherence between sayings and actions.
A Muslim scholar, preacher of seminary students would have of no value here and hereafter if they don’t decorate themselves with divine virtues and characteristics. According to Imam, if knowledge doesn’t accomplish the firm and strong faith in divine values, then every effort by such figures would be in vain.
