ATH: "The Role Of Nature In Education"

"ALLAH most high says in our Holy Book, that "God, ALLAH who created everything, "Wasiya kulli shayin, wasiyaa kulli shayin 'ilma wa rahmaat".  That God has extended everything upon His knowledge and His Mercy."  Knowledge and Mercy.  "Ilma wa Rahmat".  Ilma is knowledge, but in the Arabic language, Ilma is also science, Knowledge and science are no different in Islam.  Ilma, scientific studies and et cetera.  That would be different, but there is no such knowledge as knowledge and then another knowledge as science.  The reason why we have the two in the English language, or in the world of man's labors.  That's something we should understand too.  We have the world as God created it, and we have the world of man's labors. The world of man's labors gives us one language, the world as God created it gives us another language. The world of man's labors forms upon the world as God created it.  but finally it began to deviate, go astray under man's own influence, the influences of man's mind.  He began to imagine and dream, and he mixes his imaginations and his dreams into the knowledge.  And then the knowledge loses its purity and its no more exactly what reality says."
