Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ uses the expression “broken my back” to describe a heavy burden on the faith. He explains that an **unscrupulous scholar** misleads people by using their knowledge for worldly gain or corruption, while an **ignorant worshiper** creates innovations ($Bid’ah$) because they have zeal without understanding. The first lacks conscience, and the second lacks insight. True Islam thrives when knowledge is paired with piety, and devotion is guided by wisdom.
