A person whose mind has been awakened through study, reflection and deep pondering can truly have faith in God and truly realize Him. Someone with an un-awakened mind flounders in intellectual blindness, and in such a situation can hardly hope to arrive at God-realization. Faith in the unseen as a condition for God’s guidance is no arbitrary condition. In fact, it is a very reasonable condition for a creature like man. To understand any great reality, one needs an awakened mind. Only someone whose mind is awakened is capable of understanding a profound truth. God is, undoubtedly, the biggest and most profound truth—the Absolute Truth. And so, only a person whose mind has been awakened through study, reflection and deep pondering can truly have faith in God and truly realize Him. Someone with an un-awakened mind flounders in intellectual blindness, and in such a situation can hardly hope to arrive at God-realization. o Prof. Farida Khanam hub@thespiritofislam.org
