Islam and Reason

As presented in the Quran and demonstrated by the Prophet, Islam possesses the quality of being in accordance with human reason and human nature. Rational thinking and academic progress do not clash with the message of Islam. That is to say, at no stage do Islam and reason contradict one another. No believer is faced with the problem of accepting religious dogmas at the expense of science and reason. Acknowledging this characteristic of Islam, George Bernard Shaw writes: When the Mohammedan reformation took place, it left its followers with the enormous advantage of having the only established religion globally, whose articles of faith any intelligent and educated person could believe. Due to this characteristic of Islam, people have been attracted to Islam before and after the age of science. When presented with the different aspects of Islam, the modern educated mind acknowledges that it is according to nature and appeals to one’s reasoning.
