What is the difference in an information and Knowledge, when/how an information becomes part of our knowledge?

Question

What I think, when we believe in an info at the level of Haq al yaqueen, it become part of our knowledge, and leaves an effect on our personality.

What do you think?

Answer 1

I shall try to explain the difference between information and Knowledge and when/how an information becomes part of our knowledge with reference to Surah Al-Takathur.

Verse 1: The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you.

Verse 2: Until you visit the graves.

Verse 3: But no, you shall soon know (the reality).

Verse 4: Again, you soon shall know.

Verse 5: Were you to know with certainty of mind, (you would beware),

Verse 6: You shall certainly see h**l-Fire.

Verse 7: Again, you shall see it with certainty of sight.

Verse 8: Then, shall you be questioned that Day about the joy (you indulged in).

Verse 3 refers to knowledge, Verse 5 refers to "haqqul yaqeen" (certainty of mind).  An information is in itself a knowledge. An information may be correct or wrong. "haqqul yaqeen" is more than knowledge.  It is a stage when we believe that it is true.  Verse 7 refers to "ainul yaqeen (certainty of sight)".   "Ainul yaqeen" is a stage stronger than "haqqul yaqeen".   When we see a thing/an event with our naked eye our belief becomes more strong and unalterable.

In this Surah Allah draws our attention to h**l fire.  Similarly, it is true with all other things/events.

Answer 2

I lost all my knowledge by reading this question.....

Answer 3

information is a certain knowledge gained, but knowledge is an accumulation of the information with time, and Haq al yaqeen is a knowledge approached by a methodical scientific based doubt, not by inherited arbitrary information, and who reaches the level of Haq al yaqeen he must be an erudite person, and i think he would fear Allah (swt) alone as a result,,

"And of men and beasts and cattle, in like manner, divers hues? The erudite among His bondmen fear Allah alone. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Forgiving." (Fatir 35:28)

Answer 4

In my opinion having knowledge shows that one has some depth of intelligence and understanding of information.  

Answer 5

Information is a mixture of 'correct information' & 'misinformation'---whereas, knowledge is knowing the correct information.
