They are not equal

They are not equal; the one who sought the knowledge and read so as to attain it and the one who did not do so. One will not reach the reality of things except with seeking the knowledge.

Allah the almighty said ( interpretation of the meaning ) :

{ Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.}

Quran ( 39 : 9)
