Oh, Allah! Grant me knowledge of the ultimate nature of things. *
if we look in the depth of this prayer, it's not the usual prayer, but it has a depth in it. You can see one thing, but in reality, it may mean something other, your friend is your friend, but it may be your biggest enemy, & the one you think is your enemy may be your best friend.
So there are a lot of scenarios where you see one thing, you mean one thing, but that is not the case. Sometimes you get so confused that you can't differentiate between an enemy & a friend. One important thing, we humans don't have that level of power by which can see the unknown, we don't have "llm E Gaib" the power to see the unseen. But what the Prophet (PBUH) taught us to do is that we can pray to the Almighty, to guide us to the best, to show us what is real & whatnot. That is real wisdom.
