“Knowledge vs Information”

In this 21th century, people; especially parents are stressing their children in seeking knowledge. Most of them believe if their children do not going to school, do not pursuing their study, they might be a dumb person, and may not surviving in today environment, where many people are competing themselves in seeking knowledge. Latest, it look like as a trend where each person are going to pursuing their study to the highest level such as diploma, degrees, masters, and followed by the highest level. They might has set up their mind, the highest level they are, the many information and knowledge they will gain compare to the person at the lower level.

Despite of staying in higher level, did they realize what is the knowledge itself and how the information they got in these 4 or 5 years, might help them surviving in their future life.  

In order to become a good person and servant of Allah swt, we need to be wise in balancing our life between the dunyawi and ukhrawi. These 2 factors plays a big role and has their own main function in built-up our soul either for physically or mentally.

As a youth, I believe knowledge and information are two important things in our daily life which help ourselves shaping our future. There were many types of knowledge and information, the source where we might get all these, and how can we apply them in ourselves either with others.

Basically, knowledge is understanding of ​information about a ​subject that you get by ​experience or ​study, either ​known by one ​person or by ​people ​generally. It also is an awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. 

And information (shortened as info or info.) is that which informs, as well as that from which knowledge and data can be derived and in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer.

Without knowledge, we simply can say both information and knowledge is similar thing where from both, we can get new and learn new thing from experience, learning even experience. But there were a huge differences among these two. They also have differences in source, the way to interpret, and how can we apply them in our life.
