Do not wish to be like anyone ... The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:
"Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases. (The first is) A person, whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously(in the way of Allah); (the second is) the one whom Allah has given wisdom (i.e. the Glorious Qur'an) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others."
