and to me my religion.” Koran 109:6
REASON
Muslims consider their religion to be very rational and consistent with the
dictates of the believing and reasoning mind.
Furthermore, the Koran teaches that rational faculty is one of the greatest
gifts of Allah to man, and encourages us to use and develop this faculty.
Islam does not ask its followers to believe and then follow everything
blindly and unquestioningly. The Koran says, for instance: "If you are in
doubt of what We ⁽¹⁾ have sent down to Our worshipper (Prophet
Muhammad), produce a chapter comparable to it. Call upon your helpers,
other than Allah, to assist you, if you are true." Koran 2:23
⁽¹⁾ When pronouns are capitalized they refer to the Creator, Allah.
Examples: You, He, Him, His and, Own while pronouns such as Our, Ours,
Us and We denote His Greatness not plurality.
