Question On Innate Knowledge
Can we speak of the existence of innate knowledge? If so, the strangest thing would be for man to possess knowledge of which he has not the slightest idea. Therefore, innate knowledge does not exist and all knowledge is obtained through investigation and analysis. “If knowledge were innate, it would be incredible that we are not conscious of having the greatest knowledge.”Kindly share your thoughts.

This potential and ability within us to create knowledge that we get from observation and experimentation is also a kind of knowledge. This idea seems strange to us because this is not the kind of knowledge in conventional sense which we are used to now a days. But this is the innate knowledge we possess (i.e. potential to create kowledge) which differentiates us from other living beings. Imam Farahi has called this ‘iztarai ilm‘. Please see for further details:
