Would Allah ever treat his knowing subject the same as the one who does not know?

“Are those who know equal to those who do not know?”

Az-Zumar, 9

The knower radiates with the light of knowledge. He finds his path and sees his surroundings with this light. The one who does not know is in the dark (he is ignorant). He does not know where to go and he has no clue about what is happening around him.

The knower considers everything with Haqq (the Truth), he experiences the peace that comes with surrender. He consents to the order of Haqq. The one who does not know is drowned under the yoke of various forms of conditioning, he rebels and cannot find acceptance. He is burnt and devastated in this state.

The knower is inclined towards things that corcern him and that are aligned with Allah’s orders. The one who does not know wastes his life in pursuit of vain, unnecessary things. He does not know himself, he concerns himself with how other people behave and complains about their faults.

The knower seeks and finds ways of becoming a better subject, he achieves peace of mind. The one who does not know wastes his life chasing the desires of his nafs (the ego construct), and deserves punishment.

The knower is honored in the presence of his Lord because he [is a knowing subject], his faults as a subject are excused.

The one who does not know is made to account for his mistakes and suffer the consequences.

The knower achieves tawhid (witnessing the oneness of Allah) and experiences the divine pleasure that comes with it. The one who does not know is trapped in duality, he grapples with his Lord and experiences the sensual pleasures of the material world, he leaves this world with no awareness of meaning.
