Religious knowledge is the knowledge of what Allah revealed to His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the Book,

and what emanated from the Messenger, peace be upon him, in terms of sayings, actions, and approvals,

which clarifies the proofs, realizes monotheism and guidance, and distinguishes between truth and falsehood.

It also secures people's interests in this world and the Hereafter and establishes the proof against people.

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,
