خلفية ثقافية

In Iran, tea is served very hot. If you try to drink it too fast, you burn your tongue. This is a common physical reminder of the proverb. The proverb reflects the Islamic value of 'Taba'ul' (deliberation). It is believed that God created the world in six days to teach humans patience, even though He could have done it in an instant. Younger generations sometimes use this proverb ironically when they are stuck in slow traffic or waiting for slow internet, mocking the 'forced' patience of their environment.
