[Social Sciences] – Imagine The Corruption When Children Are Nurtured By Blind Followers Or Ideologues Who Know How to Manipulate These Six Levels of Comprehension!


In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-Uthaymeen [rahimahullaah] said:

Knowledge (Ilm) is to comprehend the reality of something as it truly is, with certainty.

The levels of comprehension are six:

[Al ‘Ilm – Knowledge], which is to comprehend the reality of something as it truly is, with certainty.

[Al Jahlul Baseet- slight ignorance], which is absence of full comprehension.

[Al Jahlul Murakkab-, Aggravated/compounded ignorance], which is to comprehend something in a way contrary to its true reality.

[Al Wahm – Delusion], which is to think that one comprehends something despite the presence of that which should cause you to realize that you are incorrect.

[Ash Shakk- Doubt], which is to think that you comprehend something, yet you are aware of something contrary to it which you think has the same possibility of being the truth.

[Dhann – Preponderant belief], which is comprehension of something, despite the presence of something which is contrary to it, but which is less likely to be true.
