The proverb "العلم نور لا يدخل القلب العاصي" (Knowledge is a light that does not enter the heart of the stubborn) emphasizes the importance of being open-minded and receptive to knowledge and wisdom. The metaphorical meaning behind this proverb is that knowledge is like a guiding light that can illuminate a person's path and lead them towards goodness and truth.
However, if someone's heart is stubborn, resistant to learning, and closed off to new ideas, they will not be able to benefit from knowledge or grasp the truths it offers. The proverb highlights the significance of preparing one's heart to be receptive to knowledge, as a closed heart that resists learning and improvement will not be able to derive the benefits of knowledge or discern the correct truths.
This proverb can be applied in various contexts, whether it is in dealing with advice and guidance, education, or parenting. Ignorant and closed hearts that are unwilling to benefit from knowledge will not be able to receive its benefits, even if the knowledge presented is clear and certain. It serves as a reminder to cultivate an open and receptive mindset in order to benefit from the light of knowledge.

The Dunning-Kruger effect. Those who don’t know think they know, those who know think they don’t know. History has recorded that our Prophet Muhammad SAW has never given up on the former nescient group. Let us all steadfast & follow his path.
Love your comment.
Thanks.
