[Life:113] Foundational vs Disciplinary Knowledge in Islam - Islam, Iman & Priorities

This lecture explores Islamic knowledge and prioritization, distinguishing between foundational (worldview) knowledge and disciplinary Islamic sciences, and explaining why belief must precede specialization.It highlights the role of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah in guiding what knowledge matters most, with emphasis on the knowledge of God (tawhid) as the lens shaping ethics, meaning, and action. A key focus is the distinction between Islam (outward practice) and iman (inner faith), alongside the three ways of knowing God: through the world, the self, and revelation.The video offers a clear framework for students of Islam seeking depth, purpose, and a coherent approach to faith, learning, and responsibility.
