Example sentences

• من أدبِه أن يلزمَ المرءُ تواضعًا معرفيًّا يرى الدليلَ، ويدركُ حدودَ فهمه، ويستحضر أن المقاصدَ أوسعُ من جزئيةٍ واحدة

  Part of its etiquette is that a person maintains intellectual humility: seeing the evidence, recognizing the limits of his understanding, and remembering that the objectives are broader than a single issue.

  مَعْرِفِيًّا — intellectual. An adjective with the '-iyy' ending meaning 'pertaining to' — here 'knowledge-related,' on 'humility,' in the -a form to match it. It pins the humility down: not social meekness but humility about what one knows.
