Some people are keen to only gather them, to pick them up, to steal these pieces, and are obsessed with merely having as much of them as possible – not realizing its true meaning, its true significance, its true place and purpose.

Thus, some people may feel that they have ‘knowledge’, whereas what they possess may just be merely ‘information’.

Actually by “knowledge”, we are referring to the relevant “meaning of that subject that we seek to acquire, arriving in our soul ...”

The “Soul” (or sometimes referred to as the ‘heart’, ‘mind’ or ‘intellect’) is the spiritual Self of who we are - our cognitive essence, capable of knowing and of learning.

When we speak of “knowledge” as referring to “meaning” , it is:

“ ... the arrival of meaning of not just the subject per se, but how it relates to whatever knowledge which we already possess within our soul.”

Thus education is said to be “organic” liken to a living organism – which pertains to the growth of our soul.

Thus education is said to be “organic” liken to a living organism – which pertains to the growth of our soul.Education is not a mechanical construct, but it entails nurturing of something with Life – educators to be likened as the gardeners not engineers.

Actually, (in Islamic education), when acquiring any pieces of it (information), you (as students) should also be learning what its meaning and significance is, and how it is to be applied (fixed) unto what you already possess thus far – increasing your growth.

This can only be possible when such pieces are given to you by one who has true ownership of these, and who consents to give them to you and helps you with how you should understand them, and to form (or attach) them unto your own overall worldview.

Thus, you must also be learning from the right person, i.e. those who has ‘seen’ the full - the completed picture. Only they are the ones who can rightfully teach you how you are to make each pieces to become meaningful to what you already possess.

And the manner or approach towards making it meaningful (enlightening), may be seen from various perspectives (angles) amongst fellow students in the same class, because each student may have a limited vision of what the teacher was teaching.
