Self-education according to Imam Ali (AS)

SHAFAQNA – In a letter to his eldest son Imam Hassan (AS), Imam Ali (AS) wrote: My son, make the future place better, do not sell the hereafter to this world; and do not talk about the things you do not know, and do not discuss whatever is not necessary for you; and do not step on a way when you fear it is the road to misguidance, because restraining yourself at the time of confusion and misguidance is better than falling into destruction [1].
