"We are blessed by knowledge from Ya ‘Alim. Hence, we are upholding the virtue of educating the truth and its contradictions. By carrying what is granted to us, we are Allah’s servant – must convey truth although it might hurt and criticized with the ultimate aim to ensure we ourselves stay in the straight path. The Almighty has generously given us knowledge which we desire, however, it is for us to seek blessings so the knowledge will turn to wisdom. “Jadi guru itu tidak usah punya niat bikin pintar orang. Nanti kamu hanya marah-marah ketika melihat muridmu tidak pintar, IKHLASnya jadi hilang. Yang penting niat menyampaikan ilmu dan mendidik yang baik. Masalah muridmu kelak jadi pintar atau tidak, serahkan saja pada Allah. Didoakan saja terus menerus agar muridnya mendapat hidayah (Maemun Zubir)”
