قَالَ يُوسُفُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ:
” فِي الدُّنْيَا طُغْيَانَانِ طُغْيَانُ الْعِلْمِ وَطُغْيَانُ الْمَالِ، وَالَّذِي يُنْجِيكَ مِنْ طُغْيَانِ الْعِلْمِ الْعِبَادَةُ وَالَّذِي يُنْجِيكَ مِنْ طُغْيَانِ الْمَالِ الزُّهْدُ فِيهِ
وَقَالَ:
بِالْأَدَبِ يُفْهَمُ الْعِلْمُ وَبِالْعِلْمِ يَصِحُّ الْعَمَلُ وَبِالْعَمَلِ تُنَالُ الْحِكْمَةُ وَبِالْحِكْمَةِ يُفْهَمُ الزُّهْدُ وَيُوَّفْقُ لَهُ وَبِالزُّهْدِ تُتْرَكُ الدُّنْيَا وَبِتَرْكِ الدُّنْيَا يُرْغَبُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَبِالرَّغْبَةِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ يُنَالُ رِضَا اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ”

Yousef Bin Al-Hussein, said:
“In this world, there are Two Tyrannies; the tyranny of Epistemia and the tyranny of Money.. Only Worship would shield you from the tyranny of Epistemia.. Only Asceticism of money will shield you from the tyranny of Money..
He explained further:
Only with Ethics; epistemia is comprehended, Epistemia correctly aligns your devotion, with Devotion you would gain wisdom, by Wisdom you understand and been guided for asceticism, by Asceticism you would abandon earthy gains, with abandoning Earthy Gains you would be wishful for After-life, with your passion for the after-life, you would gain Allah’s blessings, swt”
