The next great event which will be discussed in this blog series is mentioned in Chapter 18 Al Kahf, verse 60:
“And [mention] when Moses said to his boy [i.e., servant], “I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period.””
A muslim should never believe they possess too much knowledge so they do not need to seek or gain more. In addition, they should never be too shy in gaining useful knowledge from anyone irrespective of their age, social status or anything else. The Holy Prophet Mosa, peace be upon him, is one of the highest ranking Holy Prophets, peace be upon them, yet he still journeyed to learn from someone who possessed a lower rank than his. A person who rejects the truth when it is presented to them because they believe they are superior to the one who is imparting the knowledge has clearly adopted pride. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 265. In fact, this same Hadith warns that an atom’s worth of pride is enough to take someone to Hell.
Unfortunately, this attitude is commonly observed in this day and age as muslims often ignore the advice and knowledge given to them by those who are younger than them. This is often seen in parents who reject what their children advise claiming parents always know best. As proven by this verse a person should never be embarrassed or ashamed to accept the truth from anyone.
Put simply, the muslim who believes they do not need to gain knowledge from others is a truly ignorant person even if they possess much knowledge. Whereas, the person who possesses little knowledge which they act upon and is always open to gaining more beneficial knowledge from anyone is a truly knowledgeable person.
