We Don't Know Much

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Knowledge is a very special gift from Allah. Allah gives knowledge to whoever He wills. When He loves a person, He draws him close to Him and teaches Him. The All-Knowing loves the learned, not a learned of academia, but a learned of realities.

"...He (Allah) knows what happens to them in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. They don't encompass His Knowledge except that which He wills..." Qur'an al-Baqarah 2:255

Allah is the All-Knowing. We should not be quick to judge people or anything that is happening because we don't know much. We should not think that we know it all, rather we should be humble to Allah. We surrender to Allah's knowledge, wisdom and destiny.

When Khidr, peace be upon them, killed a boy, Prophet Musa, peace be upon him, saw this as a cruel act. But Allah knew the reality of that child and what would be better for his righteous parents.

"And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and nearer to mercy." Qur'an Al-Kahf 18:80-81

May Allah give us the ability to use our knowledge to draw nearer to Him. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
