Ismaili epistemology

Ismaili epistemology is the study of how knowledge is acquired, justified, and understood within Ismaili Islam. It emphasizes the importance of both reason and divine guidance, recognizing that human intellect and spiritual insight work together to attain truth. Ismailis believe that understanding is a dynamic process involving ongoing interpretation of sacred texts, guided by the Imam of the Time who provides spiritual insight. This approach values rational thought, personal spiritual experience, and trust in authoritative guidance to navigate complex questions about faith, existence, and morality.
