Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 75

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Time to connect with amazing Al Kahf.
Today's Ayah No 75 is reply by Khizar AS to what Musa AS said in last Ayah. On ostensibly cold murder of a young boy by Khizar AS, Musa AS couldn't help staying quiet. He objected rather judged Khizar AS on two counts. One: the boy had not killed anyone, so he didn’t deserve to die. Two: the act was deplorable. But response of Khizar AS was not an explanation of his act. He drew Musa AS's attention to  their mutual agreement before setting off on this journey according to which Musa AS had to observe quietly until aaked to talk.
Remember, Musa AS took this journey to meet most knowledgeable man under the sky and to learn from Khizar AS because Allah swt vouched for his gift of special knowledge. Also that this knowledge had been bestowed upon him by Allah swt. 
First thing we learn from high discourse of these exceptional beings that patience is quintessential to quest of knowledge. Rather patience takes precedence over knowledge. As humans, we can't know everything. We will never be able to know everything. Only Allah swt has all encompassing knowledge and ultimate wisdom. It is His prerogative and special mercy to whom he may grant a particular type of knowledge. 
One last thing before we part for another week, for Allah swt's pronouncement of us (humans) being the best of His creations, the finest form of knowledge that He gave us is that we (our body (heart & mind) and soul) recognize Him. No other knowledge is superior to this knowledge. No other knowledge makes real sense without this knowledge that "There is no god but Allah". Subhan Allah.
Blessed week.
