also, to know that something is true, it needs to know the truth on the one hand, and know that thing on the other hand, so that by comparing them with each other, it may know whether that thing is true or not. It is hereby understood that knowing the concept of something is not sufficient for knowing it, and knowing its example is also necessary, while knowing its example is more difficult than knowing its concept; because its example is outside of the human being, and knowing something outside of the human being is more difficult than knowing something within him; as it is not difficult to know the truth and falsehood in terms of concept, and it is achieved by the effort of the mind, but it is difficult to know them in terms of example, and it is not achieved except by the effort of the body, and therefore, you see people disagree on the example of something that they do not disagree on its concept. Based on this, the lack of necessary information to know something, whether in terms of concept or in terms of example, obstructs knowing it, and obtaining the necessary information to know it, whether in terms of concept or in terms of example, is necessary.

[Necessity of seeking knowledge]

This is what in Islam is called “seeking knowledge” and considered an obligation on every Muslim[1], to the extent that God Almighty has said: ﴿وَقُلْ رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا﴾[2]; “And say: ‘O Lord! Increase my knowledge.’”
