00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			Times it can be hard to make sense
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			of reason and revelation by Imam
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			captures it beautifully
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			and
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			when he says
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			Do not make reason the sole decider over
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			all things.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			Because the Sharia has established itself as the
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			sole decider
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:22
			over
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:23
			reason.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			But what is obligatory for the mind to
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			do is to give preference to what deserves
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			to be given preference to Sharia
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			and to defer
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			what deserves to be deferred and that is
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			of course its own thoughts and ideas.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			And it would not be logically
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			correct or scripturally correct to give preference to
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			what the mind chooses, which is deficient over
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			what the Sharia has chose, which is complete.
