Why The Recent Book Release Called Ilm Un Nabi ? Why Not Tarikh Un Nabi?
Your confusion lies in not understand how words give different meanings in different context. The historical record of the sayings and actions of the prophet contains his knowledge and biography. Then his knowledge has two dimensions: His knowledge and his understanding of Deen. So Ghamidi saheb categorised this historical record in three categories, ilmun Nabi, Fighun Nabi and Seeratun Nabi. Categorization is very important in this school of thought. The narrators describes the knowledge of prophet therefore it is his knowledge, of course, if it proves to be authentically narrated and is in conformity with the established principles of Deen. Read the prefaces of the book and you may get the better understanding. The word perfect has been used in the domain of social science or literature, not in empirical science. For example, we say that one is the perfect example of uprightness. But we know perfection is just a concept. Still we use it.
