💡 Explanation: Three steps make a person truly great in Allah's sight: learn it, live it, and share it. Any one step alone is good, but all three together — learned, practised, and taught only for Allah — is what makes a person great even in the heavens.

💡 Remember:

Three steps make a person truly great in Allah's sight: learn it, live it, and share it.
