Q:
- What is the difference between Ilm-e-Takwini & Ilm-e-Shari?
- How are both reconciled jointly in Islam?
- Are they people still carrying out Takwini works?
- Is takwini works only carried out by Belivers? or Disbelivers also?
A:
- `Ilm-e-Shar`ee refers to those obligations and the prohibitions of the shariah. `Ilm-e-Takweeni are laws that relate to the administration of the worldly affairs that do not relate to thawaab and azaab something similar to the duties assigned to certain Malaa'ikah.
- There is no need to reconcile as takween is not a command of the shariah. It is related to the administration of affairs. Both takweeni and shar`ee are the commands of Allah Ta`ala. Those who are summoned with takweeni `ilm will know exactly what they are assigned to do at which time.
- As long as the world is in existence, there will be the need for carrying out takweeni works.
- Takweeni works are divine instructions and the Qur'aan says: "We don't take assistance from people who mislead." (Surah Kahf)
