Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

HATRED FOR A PERSON WILL BLIND YOU OF HIS VIRTUES Real faith produces an intellectual revolution in the individual that enables him to form his opinions by rising above personal preferences. This leads to sagacity. A ccording to a certain tradition, the Prophet of Islam once observed: “A believer is wise and sagacious.” (Musnad al-Shahab 128) This does not mean that sagacity or profound understanding is associated with some races or groups. That it is found in those who call themselves believers does not mean that it is a special feature of any particular group. It is rather a special feature of faith. One who has true faith will be possessed of this quality. What is sagacity or wisdom? The greatest secret of sagacity is expressed in this prophetic exhortation: “O God, show me things as they are.” (Tafsir al-Razi, v. 1, p. 119)
