Times it can be hard to make sense
of reason and revelation by Imam
captures it beautifully
and
when he says
Do not make reason the sole decider over
all things.
Because the Sharia has established itself as the
sole decider
over
reason.
But what is obligatory for the mind to
do is to give preference to what deserves
to be given preference to Sharia
and to defer
what deserves to be deferred and that is
of course its own thoughts and ideas.
And it would not be logically
correct or scripturally correct to give preference to
what the mind chooses, which is deficient over
what the Sharia has chose, which is complete.
