All Human Knowledge Only a Drop of Water, Compared God knowledge as the Ocean

The science of all humans from the prophet Adam to the end of time, when collected no more than a drop of water. Compared to the knowledge of God, it is like a whole vast ocean.

There is a word of wisdom which states: "Science has three stages. If someone enters the first stage, he will be arrogant. If he enters the second stage he will tawadhu '. And if he enters the third stage he will feel himself nothing ".

The purpose of the word wisdom is:

In the first stage, a knowledgeable learner who is just learning will usually be arrogant. He is not aware of his situation and thinks he has achieved a noble position. In fact, not infrequently he abused scholars who were more pious than him. Even though he was the one who was still ignorant and there were still many shortcomings. Alim people can recognize ignorant people because he was also ignorant. While ignorant people do not know the pious person because he has never been a pious person.

In the second stage, he will tawadhu 'because he began to feel that his knowledge was insignificant and there were still many that he did not know. He also began to be aware of his shortcomings, and this led him to learn more and gain useful knowledge.

In the third stage, he felt nothing because it turned out to be like an oceanless knowledge. Even if he spends his entire life studying, what he gets is still small because of the vast sea of ​​knowledge.

"No one can master all the knowledge available,

It won't work, even though he studied it for a thousand years.

Therefore, realize that the knowledge we have is no more than a drop of water falling in the middle of an ocean that is very broad compared to the knowledge of God. If that is the case then it is inappropriate for us as humans to brag about the knowledge they have.

Look at the nature of water that always flows from the highest place to the lower place. Signifying the nature of water which is always humble, if it has arrived in the ocean, the height of the water will be equal, indicating that we are all the same as God's creatures. What distinguishes us from others is only our piety.

Quoted in Al-Quran surah Al-Kahfi verse 109.

Then it can be analyzed that if the Knowledge of Allah is written with ink as much as water in the ocean it will not be enough even if given that much additional ink.

May be useful :)
