About this Quote

This quote by Abu Bakr speaks with the power of understanding and how it can be used for both good and bad. He recommends that when understanding is limited, it can cause absurd decisions and actions. This is because without the complete understanding of a circumstance, it is easy to make mistakes and take the wrong strategy. On the other hand, when knowledge exceeds a particular limitation, it can lead to exploitation. This is since those with more understanding can use it to their benefit, typically at the expenditure of others. This quote acts as a pointer to utilize understanding responsibly and to be familiar with the possible repercussions of having excessive or insufficient knowledge. It also encourages us to strive for a balance in between knowledge and knowledge, so that we can use our understanding to benefit ourselves and others.
