| Summary: | There are two main paradigms of knowledge used in all over the world.The first one is based on the set of believes that human experience is the only way sufficient for knowledge discovery and commonly known as quantitative, positivist, traditionalist paradigm. Quantitative methods and
methodologies fall under this set of beliefs. The second paradigm is the interpretive and that believe that human is born with knowledge and it is only him or her, letter in their lives polish and understand the world of knowledge and discover it. Qualitative research methods and methodologies come under this set of paradigm. Quran, the book of
absolute knowledge, outright reject such believe of knowledge by birth concept. On the other hand, there are knowledge philosophers critical on experience knowledge and their arguments are not believing in human
senses (experiences) simply because they have shortcomings in human senses such as color blindness, physical distance, and the objective realities are perceived by different people are different for the same object.
There has to be one objective reality perceived by all not many realities for a single object. Islamic philosophy of knowledge is based on Quran and Sunnah. The Holy book speaks about senses such as ears, eyes and thinking heart. Also suggest, Tadabur, Tafakur, and Taaqul in the process of knowledge discovery. In this speech, some of these aspects will be discussed for further thoughts to have an Islamic Paradigm of knowledge based on the facts and orders mentioned in the Quran by Allah SWA and practiced by
our beloved Rasoolullah (SAW) and his Sunnah. |
