What sort of individual and social responsibility does it require to have knowledge? We can expend this claim with further questions.

Throughout history, those who feel the responsibilty of true knowledge have always contradicted to the ideas opposed to Islamic fashion. There are also those evading responsibility although they are aware of true knowledge. It is this polarisation which determines the political and social
