Objective thinking
- With objective thinking expectation is very important, we have four uses of objective thinking:
- Seeking proofs for claims.
- Not to rely on conjecture (zan).
- Condemnation of hawa’a.
- Condemnation of blind following.
- Objective thinking produces an evidence if what you are saying is true.
- We should not rely on zan,if you want to make a judgment then we should believe in yakeen.
- We should not follow our lust, these are all forms of hawa’a.
- Sound reasoning proves, yakeen should be our basis of believe.
- Imitation is blind following, but following means with understanding. We know that it is right and it is ibadah and this is if we are obliged to follow.
- In blind following we follow without knowing anything, without any evidence, something that is not valid.
- If we are following something then we should be confirmed and satisfied with what he/she is saying, we are not following people we are following the haq.
- Also known as parable thinking style. It is the use of metaphor.
- Where one concept is used to explain the other one when we understand the concept ,and use it to explain another concept.
- It is a way of making something understandable.
- It also discourages us from evil acts, it makes them look ugly to us.
- The use of hypothesis.
- The Qur`an uses many hypothesis where only one is true, so Allah (SWT) wants us to follow the truth.
- Allah can tell us the right way, but there’s a purpose, our minds are locked towards truth, so these hypotheses unlocks the mind towards the truth.
- E.g. Have they been created of nothing or have they created themselves or have they created the heavens, earth etc, and the other ayah says that Allah (SWT) is the one who created.
- The hypothetical and inquisitive thinking styles are inter-related (questions).
- The Qur`an came with new perceptions which were totally different from the peoples.
- It says that there is only one God whereas at the time, they were worshipping many idols, so it was very strange for them.
- Therefore Al-Qur`an came to change perception.
- Allah says “that you may dislike something and Allah makes out of it something beneficial.”
- No one is perfect so when it comes to marriage, they don’t know eachother and then after marriage they come to know about each others shortcomings, and there might be things that you dislike, but then look at the other side, because a muslim should not dislike his wife.
- Love is blind, marriage is an eye opener.
- Islam tells us to look at all sides.
- It is the use of images in thinking.
- In Qur`an we find many ayahs where you will find images.
- Something is conveyed to us in images e.g. about Janna, about nar.
- I am so surprised that those who want to enter the paradise ,they are very lazy, they don’t make any effort.
