Islam: The Difference Between Information, Knowledge and Wisdom- Munir Al- Kassem

-What kind of knowledge?

-Allah taught Adam (AS) and then he asked the angels "give me the information" the angels said "no knowledge from us"
-Adam (AS) informed the knowledge to the angels, not teach them.
-When we aquire knowledge, you won't end up on the the same level.
- Story in Surah Al Khaf
-Luqman (AS) started to teach his son things that can be turned into wisdom.

-Among the signs of the Day of Judgment is people will acquire knowledge for purposes besides the deen. Not using the guidance of Ilm and help the ummah.

-If we learn, we can't put a lid on what we learn.

-Is it wisdom to be a doctor and abort lives?
-The west is trying to export the knowledge to muslim countires.
-They say we have wisdom but its outdated

Information: Just knowing the facts
Knowledge: A deep understanding of a specific issue
Wisdom: Knowing how to implement, apply.

-Go share the wisdom of Allah (swt). There's no point of attending a conference, saying takbeer and doing nothing.

-Unless we go back to the source of wisdom we will end up slipping in the bottom.

-Acquire knowledge and transform it into wisdom.

Ex: Pork is haram: Information
Bi-products are also haram: Knowledge

Knowledge: a deep understanding of specific issues.
Wisdom: the know "how", how to implement, apply etc.

-Those who have knowledge and don't know how to use it is like a donkey carrying things on his back and not knowing what it is.

-You learn wisdom from life and experinces.

Wisdom: Do the right thing, at the right time, at the right place, by the right way

-When the Prophet (saw) had a choice between an easy and a hard one, he would choose the easy way as long as its not a sin.

-A man had a injury on his head and needed to take ghusl so he can pray. But it would hurt his head if he poured water on it. He consulted his friends and they said he had to ghusl or else he would miss his prayers. And so he did and the next day he was found dead. The Prophet (saw) then said near the the fact that we were killers. This is an example of using knowledge but not wisdom.

-You may have knowledge but don't know how to relate it.
-The Sahabas (companions) were never called a knowledgeable person.
-The boldest one who give fatwas (without knowledge), the closer he is to hell-fire.
-Wisdom is when you weigh the pro's and con's.

-The Prophet (saw) had said the Knowledge will be plenty. But where is the wisdom?
