When a person focuses in on his thought, it will guide him to seek the most lofty and noble of status. It will make him reject any form of shortcoming. Abu’l-Tayyib al-Mutanabbl said (in poetry):
I have not seen a worse fault in people,
than for capable people not to (strive to) be perfect.
An intelligent ('aqil) should try to achieve as much he can because if it were possible for humans to fly to the heavens, remaining on earth would be one of the worst deficiencies.
Was becoming a Prophet attainable through hard work (ijtihad), those who fall short of attaining it would be of the lowest levels. However, if attaining the highest status is not possible, a person in such case must try to seek what is possible. Renowned pious people always discussed how the "self’ (nafs) should reach its highest levels of perfection in both knowledge (V/w) and deeds ('amal).
