2. Different Divisions of Knowledge and Islamic Sciences

Despite the fact that we’ve lost a lot of books of Islamic Sciences when the Mongols wiped out the Islamic libraries in Iraq, we are still left with a huge legacy of knowledge. All can be divided into 2 cateogries: i Uloom al Ghayyaat (Teleological Sciences, or Sciences of a Purpose): Studying them should be a goal, not just a means. Examples include the Qur’an ,the sunnah, Aqeedah, Fiqh, and Akhlaaq. ii Uloom al Wasaa’il (Instrumental sciences): Branches of Islamic sciences, which the scholars have developed to support the understanding of the sciences of a purpose.
For Quran: Arabic, Tafseer, Fundamentals of Tafseer, Tajweed, Uloom alQur’an
For Hadith: Usool al hadith, Usool al fiqh, Uloom al Arabia
