Mufti Menk – Knowledge and Arrogance

			You know, knowledge comes with a lot of arrogance when it isn't actually practiced upon in its
correct way. So when you have knowledge, the most arrogant people are those who have a lot of wealth
and those who have a lot of knowledge when it's not checked with luck. So that's why they belittle
people, they call people names, they don't have value for someone they don't see the good a person
does because of one thing they may disagree with, or they may not have understood or whatever, even
if it's a disagreement, the way they actually cancel that person out completely. If that was the way
the professor Sallam taught it to us, we would have to cancel everyone because everyone is actually
		

			flawed. But so how do I agree with you, I remember when I when I studied, you know, shift out one of
our my machines told me that 95% of what you've studied is going to be for yourself only 5% you're
going to be teaching others unless you're a specialized teacher. And that's a fact because I know
we've read far and wide. I don't like to brag about what I've learned. I don't like to brag about
the books. I know, I don't like to brag about the assignee that I have. I don't like to brag about
these things. But you know what you got to be humble. People don't want to arrogance, the public
will never listen to someone who comes across, arrogant in any way. You have to come across as one
		

			of them who's struggling with similar challenges. Even if you're not really struggling, make them
feel like oh, I'm a guy just like you. We go through the same things and Come on, don't worry,
inshallah, things will be fine. You know, so and encourage people empower people, I have a habit, I
don't know if you might have picked it up. If I see people in the dour or in in anything, I will
encourage them to the degree that I will purposely make them feel like they are superheroes and
superstars. The reason is, they are the future leaders. It's not me. I'm here temporary. I mean,
I've already clocked mid 40s. I'm about to clock 50. inshallah, and to be very honest with you, you
		

			know, the we're past our sell by date, by the will of Allah there are other people who are going to
be taking on the challenges of the age when I say that, I mean, technological advancement is moving
in leaps and bounds. It's not going to be easy for us to keep up, you know,
