Question: What is your
reply to philosophers who give preference to reason over religious texts?
Answer: The function of
reason with regard to the Noble Qur’aan and the Prophetic Sunnah is to
understand and accept them. Reason has no role in religion except for this.
There are a lot of
religious texts that make it obligatory for Muslims to follow the Noble Qur'aan
and the Prophetic Sunnah. Also, such texts warn Muslims against offering any
opinions or suggestions that may oppose what is mentioned in the Qur'aan and
the Prophetic Sunnah.
