A really beautiful read. I particularly liked the paragraph beginning with ‘True Knowledge is never a source of pride, but rather a source of humility’. Thank you, May Allah bless you <3
Then Allah sent a crow who scratched the ground to show him to hide the dead body of his brother. He (the murderer) said: "Woe to me! Am I not even able to be as this crow and to hide the dead body of my brother?" Then he became one of those who regretted.
The essay brings this verse to mind. BarakAllahu feek

Al-Ma'idah 5:31
فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ غُرَابًا يَبْحَثُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيُرِيَهُۥ كَيْفَ يُوَٰرِى سَوْءَةَ أَخِيهِۚ قَالَ يَٰوَيْلَتَىٰٓ أَعَجَزْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِثْلَ هَٰذَا ٱلْغُرَابِ فَأُوَٰرِىَ سَوْءَةَ أَخِىۖ فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ ٱلنَّٰدِمِينَ

Thank you, Umar! In my piece on the Crow I share some reflections about this verse. https://giftfromtheheavens.substack.com/p/crow
I'll look over it, in shaa Allah. You're welcome
