    Being human, first of all, requires that we have the
    knowledge about what humanity is, and then work
    on it upon our human meaning.

    Knowledge (`Ilm) is issued from the Creator
    for humans to gather and benefit from, which is
    vital for life. In its essential nature, knowledge is
    goodness and the true seeker of knowledge must
    strive for goodness in his human nature.

    “And by the soul and by Him Who perfectly
    proportioned it and imbued it with (the
    consciousness of) its evil and its piety. He who
    purifies it (soul) will prosper and he who suppresses
    (soul) it will be ruined.” (Ash-Shams, Q91:07-10)
