Could Not Answer

ignorant idiots passing for sages, philosophers or scientists make
out of their sensuous desires or emotions, have nothing to do with
true knowledge or science. People of common sense will take no
heed of their corrupt words and writings. Thus they will have no
effect other than misleading a few idiots like themselves. Islam
contains many facts beyond the capacity of mind, but nothing
contrary to mind. Grades of mind and its interpretation are given
in the Arabic book Tarîq-un-nejât and in Turkish Se’âdet-i
Ebediyye.] [1] Giving reasonable information about Islamic religion
requires a minute study and an accurate comprehension of
renowned books of ’ilm-i-kelâm, such as Maktûbât, by hadrat
Imâm-i-Rabbânî, and Sherh-i-mawâqif and Sherh-i-maqâsid. Such
statements as “Paul said so,” “Such and such Gospel writes so,”
“This matter is a divine mystery and should be believed as such,”
which Christians utter instead of giving convincing proofs, will
testify no matter. With such statements it will be difficult to explain
the truths in Islamic knowledge, even to those Christians wise
enough, let alone to us. We shall explicate this later on.
[1] Se’âdet-i Ebediyye (Endless Bliss) was partly translated and published
in fascicles in English.
