1 | O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Mantaq; |
2 | The Logic; The Reason; The Common Sense. |
3 | And the twenty-fifth name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing. |
4 | The coherent and sensible thought; |
5 | The method of sensible and ordered thinking; |
6 | The system of argument that cannot be easily reputed; |
7 | Allah is the nature of Logic and the concept. |
8 | A mind that won’t think is no better than a cow that won’t milk, |
9 | Or a mare that will not give birth. |
10 | Allah grants us the skill to discern, to question. |
11 | These are not by accident. |
12 | So to the unbelievers, to those who think logic is a mistake? |
13 | Do you claim that Allah make mistakes? |
14 | Does he apportion more than is needed? |
15 | Or does Allah give the right answer at the right time for the right reason? |
16 | Logic is a gift, a skill a teaching to be honored. |
17 | Let it be said: |
18 | All who follow Islam are obliged to learn, and master logic. |
19 | Nothing is more disgraceful than an ignorant man mimicking prayers, |
20 | Verily, he does not comprehend. |
21 | Nothing is more wicked than the promotion of ignorance and fear in the name of Allah. |
22 | Logic is the enemy of the unbelievers. |
23 | Logic is the test of the lie of the defrauders from which they cannot escape. |
24 | A liar and fraud will tell you, do not use logic, |
25 | They will say logic is a mistake. |
26 | Only a true disciple of The Way and a true Muslim will embrace a question with respect. |
27 | Allah hath not created anything better than Reason, |
28 | Or anything more perfect, |
29 | Or more beautiful than Reason. |
30 | The benefits which Allah gives are on its account and understanding is by it (Logic). |
31 | Deliberation in undertakings is pleasing to Allah. |
32 | A good disposition, and deliberation in affairs, |
33 | And a medium in all things, |
34 | These are the qualities of a true Muslim. |
