Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah does not withhold knowledge by snatching it away from his servants, but rather he withholds knowledge by withholding scholars, until no scholar remains and people follow ignorant leaders. They are asked and they issue judgments without knowledge. Thus, they are astray and lead others astray.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

What is epistemology and where do we receive our knowledge from? Who has the authority to interpret foundational texts and extrapolate meaning from them?

The knowledge systems that we are indoctrinated by today are tainted by colonization, secularism and liberalism. Revelation is no longer considered Truth and the foundations of epistemology are being destroyed as each individual's personal truth is as valid as another individual's equally weighted, but opposite truth.

How do we navigate the current state of affairs and distinguish those qualified to speak Truth against those who sound true? Come join us with Imam Mikaeel Smith for a conversation on this topic. External Event Url
