His words aren't to be listened to but to be studied.

And (We gave him) Love and purity (soul’s cleansing) from Our Presence and he became the owner of Takwâ (piety). (The Noble Qur'an. Surah Maryam - verse 13) Allah's Messenger Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, "Allah will not be merciful to those who are not merciful to mankind." Narrated Jarir bin `Abdullah: Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 7376
