It’s interesting how knowledge and ignorance is the key factor that affects the outcome of any given situation. Let’s study some vocabulary related to العِلْم (al-‘ilm / knowledge) and الجَهْل (al-Jahl / ignorance).
Now, let’s have some of those words in a sentence.
| Whoever loves you contently, will find it difficult to find refuge in others | مَنْ يُحِبّك بِقَنَاعَة مِنَ الصَعْبِ أنْ يَلْجأ لِغَيْرِك |
| If wealth equated work, donkeys would spend the night on a golden bed. | لو كان الثَراء بِقَدْر العَمل، لَبَات الحِمار على سَرِِيْر من الذَهَب |
| Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness]. (Quran 30:41) | ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ (القرآن ٣٠:٤١٠) |
| How can you launch a war on terror when one finds war itself is terrorism? | كَيْفَ أنْ يَكُن تَشُن حَرْبًا عَلى الارهَاب فِيمَا الحَرْب يَجِد ذَاتِهَا إرْهَاب؟ |
| Freedom starts where ignorance stops | تَبْدَأ الُحُرِّية حَيْثُ يَنْتَهي الَجَهْل |
| If you want to know the manners of a man, put authority in his hand and see how he behaves | إذا أرَدْتَ أن تعْرِف أخلاق رجل فضَع السُلْطَة في يَدِهِ ثُمّ اُنْظُر كَيْفَ يَتَصَرّف |
