Abstract
We present an analysis of the concept of knowledge in the field of islām, with the purpose ofputting in crisis the western prejudice of the “ilustracionism”, that is, the affirmation that re-duces all the current problems that the Islamic civilization suffers to a lack of Enlightenment.Knowing that autonomy is the belief that drives the idea of Enlightenment, and that autonomyis declined in epistemic terms, it follows then that the lack of illustration turns out to be in re-ality a lack of knowledge. For this reason, we have considered that, in order to move towardsthe dissolution of enlightened prejudice, it is necessary to clarify the meaning first and know thedifferent nuances that the term knowledge in the field of islām presents.
