Critical Reasoning 1: What’s the Criteria to understand the right and the wrong?

What’s this hadith mean?
The ability to understand right and wrong would decline.

Isn’t that the case today?
Not really, it declined not in this generation but few generations before if you are to know the truth.

Who will give you certain knowledge about what is right and what is wrong?

Society? The ‘enlightened’ mind of a society?
No way!
They will teach you the right and the wrong according to their perception, according to their time and according to their societal perspectives. Therefore, it will be conflicting with other society.

Science?
No way!
Science doesn’t bother about the values of the society, morality or humanity.

Then who or where you turn to understand what is right or what is wrong?
Only to the creator of men. He sets the law, He sets the criteria.

And you Muslim left Quran long back and you now judge by the criteria set by men. And the result?
The obvious scenario, declining humanity to the level of insects that even a Muslim now has no capability to understand what is right and what is wrong.

And then, when a Muslim do not have the understanding of the right and the wrong, how would he Enjoin Good and Forbid Evil?
No way!

When when a Muslim is not able to Enjoin Good and Forbid Evil, what happens?
His level of Eemaan becomes Zero.

And what’s that results to?
Disaster.

Question is, how this happened when a Muslim has the FURQAN?
(The Criterion to Judge right and wrong, Quran 25:1)

It is because the Muslims have abandoned the Furqan, Al-Quran long back.
And we have observed that in many occasions throughout this site for one to be interested.
May Allah make it beneficial.

Allahu A’lam.
May Allah guide Muslims.
May Allah make us the people of the Quran.
Ameen.

Critical Reasoning 2: What’s your status with Allah?

“When Allah WANTS GOOD for somebody He makes him understand the Deen” (Bukhari 69)

May Allah not make us among those.
May Allah make all Muslims to study Quran and contemplate on it.
May Allah give us understanding of Deen.
Ameen
