Its indications are completely certain and in no way wrong. The intellect, indeed, is a correct scale. ![]() This does not speak against the intellect and intellectual perceptions. The territory he covers is wider than the territory of your intelligence. His level is higher than that of your perception. He is more desirous of your happiness and he knows better what is good for you. How wonderful is what the historian and philosopher, ‘Allamah Ibn Khaldun (Allah Exalted is He have mercy on him), said: “Therefore, everyone should be suspicious of the comprehensiveness of his perceptions and the results of his perception, and should follow what the lawgiver commanded him to believe and to do. Whoever frees the rein of his thought in this maze, he will acquire nothing besides confusion and conflict or deviance and misguidance. There is no option therefore but to believe in what is immediately obvious or transmitted from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and His Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace), while restraining the rein of thought from what is external to the perception of a powerless humanity who were not given of knowledge but little. ![]() Knowledge of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in terms of His existence, His power and His wisdom is from the most evident of a priori truths which is realised by every learned and ignorant person merely by looking at the wonders that were put in this cosmos, and all that was created therein of the signs of His majesty and His beauty, which cause to occur in the mind of the Bedouin from the desert to say: “Camel dung points towards a camel, and footsteps towards a traveller, so the sky full of constellations, and the earth full of ravines, how can it not point towards the Subtle, the Aware?”Īlso from the wonders of His power is that in spite of belief in Him (Exalted is He) being from the most evident of a priori truths and the most obvious of manifest realities, detailed perception of the true nature of His essence and His attributes is from the impossibilities which every time a person delves into it, though he be of position in knowledge and intelligence, it only increases him in perplexity and inability and recognition of the limitedness of his intelligence and his understanding. In Allah’s Name, the All-Merciful, the BeneficentĪll praise to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and blessings and peace be upon His Noble Messenger, and upon his family and all his companions, and upon all who follow them in excellence till the Day of Recompense.
