Have you ever wondered why some of the worlds most knowledgeable and educated people show arrogance? Indeed, a danger of having or carrying knowledge is that it can engrain an ego in the mind of the beholder. Carriers of knowledge in the golden ages, who were amongst the most intelligent in the world at the time, would teach younger apprentices. Nowadays, famous intellectuals would be wasting their time if they interacted with beginners in their fields. Shaitan himself had knowledge - and that is the entity that caused him to be disobedient to Allah SWT, believing that he was better than Adam AS. In our pursuit of knowledge, we need to be mindful in applying what we learn so that this information can actually benefit us. The sahabah (RA) would take only 10 ayahs at a time and not move on until they were able to apply them in their lives. Remember that an essential component of knowledge is always transmission; teaching people and being humble about what you know. May Allah SWT grant us beneficial knowledge and help us in applying it. And may Allah SWT protect us from knowledge which does not benefit us. -Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan
