Two Verses Calling for Humble Awareness in Matters of Knowledge

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

“Regardless what level you reach in knowledge, remember the ilm behind by the predecessors for the successors.” Imam Muhammad

Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymin, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: This (statement) is good, but we say that what is better than that is: “Regardless what level you reach in knowledge, remember the statement of Allah, The Mighty and Majestic:

 وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِي عِلْمٍ عَلِيمٌ
But over all those endowed with knowledge is the All-Knowing [Allah]. [Yusuf 76]

And remember the other Ayah:
وَمَا أُوتِيتُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
And of knowledge, you [mankind] have been given only a little. [Al-Israa 85]
