Inspired by Qur’an 62:5 and the crisis of divorced knowledge and action
“The likeness of those who were charged with the Torah, then failed to carry it, is that of a donkey carrying books. Evil is the likeness of the people who deny God’s signs. And God does not guide the wrongdoing lot.”
Qur’an, Surah al-Jumuʿah (The Chapter of Friday) #62, Verse 5
What worth is knowledge if the soul stays blind?
A library on a donkey, truth left behind.
The ink without action will witness against,
And learned silence becomes the tongue of the fenced.
O God, exclude from Your mercy, the people who killed him and silenced truth.
