by means of the various special branches
of knowledge to which most people devote their attention. As a result, most
people‟s knowledge only makes them bolder in disobeying Allah most high.
Genuine knowledge, however, increases a man‟s reverence and fear and
hope; and these come between him and sins (in the strict sense) as distinct
from the unintentional faults which are inseparable from man in his times of
weakness. This proneness to lesser sins does not argue any weakness of
faith, however. The believer, when he goes astray, repents. He is far from
sinning intentionally and deliberately.
In conclusion: These are the points I wanted to discuss in criticism of the
faults of the philosophers and the party of ta`lim and the faults of those who
oppose them without using their methods.
We pray Allah Almighty that He will number us among those whom He
has chosen and elected, whom He has led to the truth and guided, whom
He has inspired to recollect Him and not to forget Him, whom He has
preserved from the evil in themselves so that they do not prefer ought to
Him, and whom He has made His own so that they serve only Him.
