| Importance of Observation in the Quran: God wants to See Muslims as a Thinking Community | |
By Sohail Arshad, NewAgeIslam.com |
The Quran that is a treasure house of knowledge and wisdom, time and again enjoins on man to indulge in observation and ponderance as it is the key to his success. … The Quran enjoins on man to persevere with namaz (prayers) and shun shirk (worship of non-God) on countless occasions. In the same way it inculcates man to study and ponder in many of its verses giving the impression that it wants to see Muslims a thinking community, a community with scientific outlook and temperament. To Quran a Muslim can’t afford to be thoughtless. In other words, thought and observation run in the veins of a Muslim. The Quran expects Muslims to develop a scientific temperament and look at all that exists in the universe with a scientific vision and study and research on it to get the realization of the oneness of God and at the same time acquire the same order, harmony and balance that is present in God’s universe in his own personality.-- Sohail Arshad, NewAgeIslam.com http://newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamIslamicIdeology_1.aspx?ArticleID=5440 | ||
