'Knowledge' is something within us– it is not external, not on paper. Therefore, I would call the page 'Information about Islam'.

Hi Untaught,

If I were in your shoes I would use the preposition 'of', because the main meaning of the word 'knowledge' is 'facts, information and skills acquired by a person through experience or education' and that demands the use of the 'of'.

It is not 'knowledge' until it settles into your brain, Yuri.

knowledge = the psychological result of perception and learning and reasoning.

Hi Mister Micawber,

We answered Untaught's question almost simultaneously and sending my message I hadn't seen your one yet. But Islam is considered to be one of the main branches of theology i.e. the subject that may be studied thoroughly. So, why not call the page 'Knowledge of Islam'? Maybe Untaught tries to reveal the essence of Islam in his article?

Best regards,

Yuri

'Knowledge' is the wrong word choice for the reason I have already given.
