Abstract

According to the teachings of the Holy Quran, purification (tazkīyah) and education (ta’līm) are the two basic principles for the discipline of human beings, out of which purification is of a higher significance. Knowledge resembles some seeds the growth of which requires a suitable ground and purification serves as the ground for a perfect growth of such seeds without which knowledge will be partial and insufficient or even misleading. This study uses an analytic-descriptive methodology to review the Quranic verses concerning purification and education and the significance and the relation between these two Quranic concepts.
