The Purpose of Dividing Sciences into Religious and Worldly

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:21,079
Scientifically speaking, knowledge can only be divided into religious sciences and worldly sciences.

4
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:29,140
Religious knowledge is the knowledge of what Allah revealed to His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the Book,

5
00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:35,140
and what emanated from the Messenger, peace be upon him, in terms of sayings, actions, and approvals,

6
00:00:35,140 --> 00:00:42,140
which clarifies the proofs, realizes monotheism and guidance, and distinguishes between truth and falsehood.

7
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:49,140
It also secures people's interests in this world and the Hereafter and establishes the proof against people.

8
00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:56,140
Under religious knowledge fall what are termed auxiliary sciences or tools of knowledge,

9
00:00:56,140 --> 00:01:04,140
such as the science of language, the science of usul (principles), the science of hadith terminology, and everything that serves the knowledge of the Book and the Sunnah,

10
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:13,269
and clarifies their meanings. Worldly sciences encompass all that benefits people in their worldly lives,

11
00:01:13,269 --> 00:01:21,269
and contributes to development and prosperity, such as the sciences of medicine, engineering, physics, and so forth.
