humility in seeking knowledge

Sometimes we feel that we have gotten a certain amount of knowledge, and then we feel satisfied with ourselves. But the amount of our knowledge as compared to the vastness of His Oceans of Knowledge, is but that of a bird who dips his beak to drink, and the smallest of drops falls back - that is the quantity of knowledge that has been related by Moses and Khidr a.s. And those two are learned people, and prophets to boot. who are we?

3 instances to bring up.

Maqasid class, Ustaz asked:
"Do you know the hukum of a jemaah prayer?"

DI last week. A kid asked:
"Abang you know how to pray?"

And this morning, Ustaz commented:
"We are just students on the path of knowledge..."

It is a great blessing to have been started on this path.
But I got to remember to always see myself as incomplete and not knowledgeable enough still, so that I will continue to search.

Taqabbal minni Ya Rabb.
