Islamic Answers to Philosophical Questions


Perhaps it is true that, which brings together philosophers is not the problems they are dealing with treatments that they propose. If it is wrong to ask to answer the philosophical question, because the number of philosophical answers may have been a number of philosophers, or the number of philosophical schools.
Accordingly, the Islamic philosophy of true, that had to be the proportion of philosophy to Islam, are answers that we find in the basic sources of Islam - the Koran and the Sunna - those philosophical questions. Accordingly, the Muslim philosopher really is, which depends on answers to philosophical to those sources; is immersed in the texts of the year searching for those answers, looking at them, explaining them, defending her, arguing for violators, He took the approach mentally, and the language understood by the addressees of his time.
Vmassadr Islamic philosophy true, is not the writings of thinkers who are notorious for the title of Muslim philosophers such as Canadian and al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, because they were standing on the ground of Greek philosophy, operating out of many of the basic tenets, though they sometimes, thanks to their environment of Islamic culture, they come in contravention of Greek philosophy, What is authentic then.
The thought that represents the true Islamic scholars are scholars Almtbhron Science in the Quran and Sunnah, and the effects of Salafism. It was these philosophers of the bitterest opponents of what they saw in their minds what they knew of the violation of the established facts in the book of Islam, Sunni and Salafi effects. Because the philosophy were not mean at that time but thought this approach to the ways of the pagan Greek thought, we find in the writings of scientists, invective her, and advice for people to stay away.
However, if we sense the general philosophy is to try to answer the basic questions of existence and reason and morality, knowledge, etc., I do not see nothing wrong with naming of Islamic Answers to these fundamental issues of Islamic philosophy, it does not nothing wrong with the words, however well meaning.
The following is a summary of some of those answers summed up most of it from the writings and sayings you dropped it on several occasions over many years. I did this in response to your kind invitation to me to talk about the Islamic view to philosophy, a subject that is difficult to pay it off in the human right to a lecture and a one for one hour, but scientists say that they were all aware of what does not leave a whole.

Theory of knowledge:
Rima was the issue of issues in the philosophy of those questions related to knowledge and which are the answers to them so-called theory of knowledge. Perhaps the most important questions asked in this area are:
What is the definition of science?
Does science possible?
Is there a flag prior to the birth? Or that the child is born a blank page?
How do we know?

What science?
Appears from some verses of the Koran that Islam supported the view of matching theory, any theory that science is to say, or the corresponding perception of reality. Some Arabs believe that the intelligent man he Qlban, and was one of them if the wrath of his wife said to her, you mother, and then I consider also did not treat her cohabitation with the wife, and was one of them adopts the years other or daughter, and he attributes to himself as if he and his son, as people do now in the West . The rule of God to all of these claims as mere words of my tongue, and it is contrary to the right, he says:
(What to make of God to man two hearts in his stomach and make your wives, your mothers who Tzaheron them and make your sons Odeiaikm That is your opinion mouths, and God says the right which guides the way) [parties: 4]

And it is science possible?
If we take this question to the face and words, we found a contradiction, because a person while asking about the possibility of science assumes that science knows what, but if he knows what he knows nothing of science. But perhaps out of the question is whether what we believe is identical to the real science is indeed the reality, that is, it is not fantasy or two. After all, in the Koran to indicate that science is possible, and that of God, which requires much. He says:
(And God brought you out from the wombs of your mothers knowing nothing, and gave you hearing and sight and hearts that ye may be grateful) [Nahl: 78]
The previous verse conclusive answer to this question in the negative. If science is gaining all after birth. But does that mean that the mind comes a blank page to write it senses what you want? No! We read in the hadith of the Prophet peace be upon him: "Every child is born on instinct, Labuan Jewish or a Christian or a Magian." (Reported by Muslim)
This hadeeth indicates that the human being, although not born with knowledge in some, but it does not generate mind is empty, but is born in his mind the seeds of knowledge grow its growth and reach perfection Bndjh, but this science Alambdhur origin of the human person can be opposed by external influences, but they do not have to remove .
What are these science seeds planted in human nature? Previous modern instinct makes something different from Judaism, Christianity and Zoroastrian. This means that the instinct is Islam. Obviously, it is not intended so that if a person has grown his mind he found himself a world all the details of the Islamic religion, but are intended to:
One of them: that man is born in his mind Bdhirpaltouhid, any acknowledgment that there is no god worthy of worship but the God who is the creator of one.
Second: that this man is born intuition, realized did not fit with the belief and behavior, but the facts and the provisions that are enshrined in Islam.
For this description of the religion that God revealed to His Messenger, peace be upon him that he is the instinct which Allaah has created them slaves. He says (Adding to your face upright for religion, bestowed by God created mankind, does not change God's creation is religion, but most people do not know) [Roman: 30]
And if a person has been designed and consciousness or his nature so that it fits only the facts and rulings of Islam, it does not feel the assurance and peace of mind unless he is a Muslim worshipers of God (who believe and whose hearts the remembrance of Allah not the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest) [Thunder: 28]

How do we know?
There are three issues are often confused with those who try to answer this question, I ask the reader to distinguish among them, the question of the source of knowledge, and the means to acquire the knowledge, and the approach followed for the acquisition of knowledge.
It is the initial as indicated by the name is a place where science and the means are the forces and equipment that are provided us by God for the acquisition of knowledge, the curriculum is the way we get knowledge from the source of those means.
Vmassadr flag when a Muslim is the universe and the revelation, and means is the sense, reason, and the approach depends on the type of science and the type of source. If it is wrong to say - as some religious people - The sources of knowledge or the means is the sense of revelation, or that the scientific method especially experimental science.

Means of knowledge
Decided verse that we mentioned at the beginning of this article that the man is born of ignorance, and that God provide him with hearing and sight and mind, she stated that a person can not acquire knowledge - whether religious or secular - only through the sense and reason. Why do I say with a sense that the verse did not say but hearing and sight? Because the other senses are listed in the other verses, but this verse was focused on the most important senses in relation to other knowledge.
The senses as it is known, all related to the brain and then the mind. Akl is the article which prevents the following through the senses to the things that have meaning in relation to rights. But the more the mind is linked to the senses of hearing, because the rights as hearing voices, such as those emitted by natural things like thunder, wind, birds, animals and insects, it is heard to speak, which sounds to indicate meanings, and hearing often used in the Qur'an in this sense the latter. But that does not make sense to speak does not benefit him, the Qur'an resembles the animal which is not heard to speak, only votes. The hearing is linked to the mind linked to another is that any talk of him what is right and what he is wrong is no way to know this sense alone, but must join it, the mind decides first whether the speech inconsistent or consistent, if found to contradict the rule struck down, and if found consistent consideration in meaning, is it OK to reality, which refers to him or not? The provision is approved or the offense may be simple task such as saying "The sun came up to the sun are seen, the rights and the rule of the health of her grandfather came up to speak, but found that the rule is invalid. The government needs to speak to health or invalidity of a long process to vehicle, Kaltokd the validity of the theory of physical Kalnspep.

Sources of knowledge
All of the facts regardless of the types of sources are only two: the universe and revelation, or rather God's creation and God's revelation. If human action is not claimed by the evidence from these two sources, one or both of his claim was false. He says: "Say (Do you see your partners who you call besides God showed me what was created from the ground or trap them in the heavens, We have given them a book or they are aware of it? But that is wrong but only to deceive each other) [Lo: 40] Fbadp them for worship instead of Allah, they include the case of employers, and the Lord must be a creator, and creator of the science that is either watching the creation of the universe, or inspired by God, which proved to be the creator. If you do not support this claim from the creation of the universe is not known, in the words of God the Creator, was not necessarily invalid.
Valtsour Islamic sources of knowledge differs from the materialist conception of atheism, which alone makes the universe and the source does not have imagined only a scientific approach that you know it the realities of this universe. But also different from the perceptions of religious and other metaphysical. The focus of disagreement with them in being a living evidence of the universe known to claim that there is a second source is the revelation, while denying materialists of this fact, evidenced by the source, who affirm it Vinaqdon; and believes the owners of perceptions of religious and metaphysical other sources do not have the exciting evidence of validity.

Evidence of the revelation
When he said Muhammad peace be upon him to his people from the Arabs that the Prophet, and they were of the smartest people, objected to many of them to claim all that could be objected to by the person, did not leave those after them, a new argument object to it, but Muhammad peace be upon him answered the objections are evidence and proof in a very rational and scientific. Than that: some of them said that he does not believe in his prophethood because he did not believe that the creator of the universe, the answer was, so how do you find? The security of pure nothingness? This is something impossible. Or do you you who Khalguetm yourselves? But this is also impossible. Leaving only that you have not created the Creator did not guide was born.
 (Were they created of nothing, or are they the creators. They created the heavens and the earth, but no certainty of faith) [phase: 35-36]
Some of them said that he believes in the existence of the Creator, but he did not believe that the Baath possible answer was that if you believe that God created man after that it is not, how can deny his ability to return after his death, although this is easier? And then you see in the universe in front of you that God revives the earth and then plant Paljdb succumb, and then give them life again, the one who revived the earth after her death, how can it not able to revive the man after his death?
 (And they say: When we are bones and the remains, forsooth, a new creation?? Say: Be ye stones or iron, or created, which grow in your hearts. They would say of us back? Say that when you break your first time) [Isra: 51]
(See the effects of the mercy of Allah, how He revives the earth after its death, that is for men who are dead and He over all things) [Roman: 50]
If you believe in God, you no doubt believe that all the characteristic qualities of perfection is far above all the lack of, and believes that the sage does not act as a conduct which is absurd. But this wise God sent messengers to Ihdoa people to the path of goodness, and Ihdhirohm from the path of evil, and ordered people to Btaathm, believed some people to them and the path of goodness, and Kafr others to them and gone in the way of evil, Do you think it is wise to make the fate of the two teams and one? But this world in which we live is not a penalty House as seen, how good of a man who lived a hard life killed or wronged, and how much of human evil Mnama lived and died after a long life. If you were not life after this life can receive the reward of their benefactors and cast their sins into the abusive punishment was the creation of people and send messengers to them in vain.
(Then think that We created you in vain and that you shall not be returned to us? Therefore exalted be Allah, the King is not the right god is Lord of the Throne) [Believers: 115-116]
(Or who commit ill deeds that make them like that believe and do deeds of righteousness, both in life and death? Evil is what they judge. And God created the heavens and the earth with truth, and every soul be requited for what it earned and they will not) [Crouching: 21-22]
He said some of them were Jews, they believe in God but do not believe in the message of Muhammad because they do not believe that God sends messengers. The answer was that you believed that God does not send messengers can not God the right amount, because if he knew of God and of the right amount of science that it can not create people and so kind to them all what their bodies need from food, drink and clothing, and the land, air, sun and moon, and then not giving them what you need to guide their lives, but leave them floundering and confused disagree and worry. Then, if you do not think to send someone a message, how will you believe Moses a prophet? Who sent him the book that came with it?
(And they esteem not Allah the right amount because they said what Allah has revealed to human beings from something. Say: "Who sent down the Book which Moses brought Tbdonha and hide a lot, and you know what you know not you nor your fathers? Say: Allah. And then Leave them in engaged the play) [cattle: 91]
Some of them said he believed that God sends messengers, but he wondered why God sends people to human beings like them? Why not send them angels? The answer was that the angels but the angels are sent to, and that fits human beings is human beings like them speak to them in their own language and be an example to them. If the Messenger sent to them and do things Istassabunha Iomrham doing and protested that the king can not have.
(Say if it was in the earth angels walking secure, We had sent them from heaven an angel as a messenger) [Isra: 93]
Then he gave them evidence of the sincerity of his prophethood, he knew an honest man, he would not tell lies about people to the age of forty and then lying to God. And knew that he was illiterate can not read or write:
(And you Ttheloa him from a book of sound with your right hand if the question doers) [Spider: 48]
He told them that he first applied to him a reason, and sincerity of his behavior, he said.
He told them he did not want them to invite them to worldly reward, they see it live, including poor gracious, Most Merciful modest. And seen, most of them sacrifice and Ozhdhm is with people. (What I want to Okhalvkm to forbid him, only want to fix what you can, and compromise, however, God, In Him I trust and unto Him I turn) [Hud: 88]
(Say what you ask you any reward for it that is only a memory of the worlds) [cattle: 90]
And gave them the evidence of the sincerity of his prophecy of the book that brought him, in that the book has reached the consistency that could not be available to the words of a human:
(Will they not ponder the Qur'an? Had it been from other than Allah they would have found therein much discrepancy) [women: 82]
In terms of jewelry in a manner that challenged them to Iqldoh Iqarboa or employers that they eloquence which their own tongue. (Or they say: He hath invented it? Say: Then bring ten surahs, the like thereof, invented, and call on all ye can besides Allah, if ye are truthful. If he does not respond you know that what is revealed knowledge of God, and there is no god but He: Are you Muslim?) [Hood: 13-14]
In terms of guidance, which came out in the definition of people in their Lord, words do not find in the books of philosophers, no books, the people of other religions, in a statement the ways in which worship of the true God, in a statement creation, which should be Iskouh in the treatment of each other, and in guiding them to the types of transactions and cuisine and beverages that help Alyasamo spiritual ordered them, and that degrade the human being and hang tags to the degree of animal forbade it.
In terms of being a book paints a way of life integrated beliefs and perceptions to worship and ethics, to social order, individuals, families and communities, to the political system, relations with non-Muslims, and the fact that calls to all this in a balanced manner to meet the requirements of mental health, and needs physical, and longing spiritual.
So, have faith in the source of knowledge - is the universe - is indicated by scientific evidence, does not open the door for each plaintiff understood metaphysically, a source does not live for what is acceptable evidence of a mind. Many Western writers forget this fact, So they make all the metaphysical claims of the same sex, magic and fortune-telling Philemon and false religions Vidjalunha in hand, and make global scientific facts in the interview. With this that Islam denies all of those mentioned sources and prepared by the void, and is resorted to sin requires punishment of Allaah.
