Said by: Imam Ali (as)

Arabic:

[Arabic text — to be verified]

English translation:

Knowledge is of two kinds: knowledge of religion and knowledge of the body (medicine).

Reference: Widely reported in Islamic sources — [reference — to be verified]

💡 Explanation: One kind of knowledge teaches us about Allah, our faith and how to live rightly. The other kind teaches us about the human body, health and healing. Islam values both — a believer needs sound faith and a sound body, so both kinds of learning are part of serving Allah.

💡 Remember:

One kind of knowledge teaches us about Allah, our faith and how to live rightly.
