Knowing

All knowledge originates from the Creator, Most Knowing. Acquiring knowledge about God, holy books, prophets, metaphysical existence and suprarational understanding is via revelation. While knowledge about the phenomenal worlds and matters pertaining to physical existence is through the senses, instrumentation, reason and experience through passage of time and space. Revelation emphasizes absoluteness, permanence, and certainty. However, understanding transient life is always relative, subjective, tentative, and mostly short-lived. Thus, the sources, classification, and the levels of knowledge enable us to appreciate various existences in their proper roles and places.
