💡 Explanation: Martyrs give their lives for the faith, and that is the highest sacrifice. But the knowledge written down by scholars keeps the faith alive for all the generations that come after. A pen that writes true knowledge can protect the religion for centuries.
💡 Remember:
Martyrs give their lives for the faith, and that is the highest sacrifice.
