and its conflict with Islam "Philosophy in general means 'wisdom', and a philosopher came to be referred to as wise man (hakeem). The word, 'philosophy' refers to the study of basic principles, viewing knowledge as something based on rationality, the goal of which was the search for truth. Philosophy is a liberal rational examination that is free from any restrictions and external authority with the ability to go all the way on the basis of logic regardless of the difference between the (philosophical) views and religious beliefs, and dictates of tradition; and without being confronted or resisted or punished by any authority." [al-Mawsoo'ah al-Muyassarah fi'l-Adyaan wa'l-Madhaahib al-Mu'aasirah (2/1118-1121) courtesy: islamqa.com (slighted adapted)] It is evident by the definition itself that philosophy is opposed to Faith in Islam for a number of fundamental reasons; - 09 -
1. In Islam, knowledge is based upon Divine revelation while the role of rational is limited to appreciating the revelation. We are commanded to believe and accept every aspect of the religion; even those which the mind cannot fully comprehend like matters of the Ghayb (unseen). The wisdom behind this is to distinguish the sincere believers from those who are insincere. "None dispute regarding the Ayaat (revelations, signs, proofs) of Allah except those who disbelieve." [Soorah Ghafir (40): 4] Allah is the Creator of reason, and He is the One Who issues the command. The true believer is he who responds and submits, and says, "I hear and I believe and obey, even though I do not understand the reason." He admits his mortality, weakness and submission to Allah, Who cannot be questioned as to what He does because His Commands are based upon Divine Wisdom and Divine Justice. This is how the Companions of the Prophet r submitted to the Deen as Imam al-Bukharee (1597) recorded in his Saheeh that Umar ibn Khattab t said of the Black Stone when he kissed it, "By Allah, I know that you are only a stone and you can neither bring benefit nor cause harm. Were it not that I had seen the Messenger of Allah kissing you, I would not have kissed you." 2. Hikmah (lit. wisdom) in Islam refers to the Sunnah as defined by the majority of the scholars of Hadeeth and Fuqaha (jurists), and the Sunnah is the judge and criteria to distinguish truth from falsehood. - 10 -
