THE TWO CATEGORIES OF KNOWLEDGE

THE TWO CATEGORIES OF KNOWLEDGE

In its
abstract sense, there are two kinds of Knowledge (or learning);
the one which is taught in Madrasahs, school, colleges and universities
(in the progressive order). For a lay-man as well as for the majority
of the populace this is what constitutes the knowledge and it
is believed to be sufficient to satisfy our material quest and
urge in this behalf.

However, there is yet another branch of knowledge which is taught
and acquired directly or straightaway through the divine agency,
with the functional audio-visual aids, such as books, papers,
pens or such-like paraphernalia, needing neither the teaching
institutes, such as schools, colleges, universities, etc. nor
the professional teachers and degree holders. This is the transcendental
or divine sector of knowledge, which in Quranic terminology is
known as "I'lm-i-Ghayb" or the "Knowledge of the
Unseen" 7 and which constitutes one of the fundamental tenets
of Islamic belief. In fact, the belief and unbelief in the Unseen
(Ghayb) is the distinguishing mark of a person being a Muslim
or a Heathen. 8

This
is the branch of knowledge which is super human in nature surpassing
the human intellect as also the five proverbial senses on their
own. The Knowledge of the Unseen (I'lm-i-Ghayb) is superior to
and dominant over all other knowledge in any field of human activity,
defying all methods of imparting and receiving education and knowledge.
This is essentially an emblem of Divine Grace bestowed upon the
chosen servants of Allah, like the gentle blissful rain showered
upon the hearts and minds of the esteemed recipients on earth.
