Default Re: What is Knowledge in Islam? - 06-05-2008

Knowledge is defined as the intersect (look up set theory) of belief and truth.

Where ‘truth’ is a logical statement which concurs with reality and ‘belief’ is a logical claim or proposition about reality.

For example:

Proposition (belief): All apples are red.
Truth: Not all apples are red.

Conclusion: the belief that 'All apples are red' is not knowledge.
