7. Epistemology and the Pursuit of Knowledge

At the heart of Asbagh’s teachings lies a robust epistemological framework that values knowledge as a divine gift. He espouses the importance of seeking knowledge in all its forms — religious, philosophical, and scientific. He underscores the necessity of critical inquiry and reflection, embracing a rational approach that complements faith. This duality between reason and revelation is critical for a profound understanding of the religious texts and traditions.
