The article reflects on the debate presented in an episode of the show "On Knowledge," which questions whether the essence of knowledge is found in the mind or the heart. It cites Anis Mansour's idea of astonishment as a starting point for knowledge and Aristotle's view linking doubt to the pursuit of truth. The discussion is enhanced by contrasting views from Oscar Wilde, who warned that knowledge could diminish the mystery of life, and Radwa Ashour, who considered knowledge—despite its harshness—as a source of security.

The dialogue delves into the psychological aspects of knowledge through the lens of Arthur Schopenhauer, who suggested that understanding emotions can reduce their power over individuals. The presentation presents Ghazali's perspective, asserting that the heart serves as the true seat of knowledge as it is deemed a divine trust. This is fortified with the thoughts of Ibn Ata Allah Al-Sikandari, who claimed that the ultimate understanding of God is the most intricate yet noble form of knowledge.

The article further explores the relationship between knowledge and love, referencing the views of Rumi and Muhammad Iqbal, who cautioned against knowledge devoid of spirit. It emphasizes the distinction between science and knowledge, and introduces the responsibility that comes with knowledge as articulated by Ibn Khaldun, suggesting that the extent of one's knowledge relates directly to one's accountability. The discussions culminate in a call for reflection on the implications of possessing knowledge and its moral responsibilities.
