The Holy Qur'an has ordered the human being to think, understand and be aware in order to widen his horizons of thought and to stir his mind for emerging him from the thoughtless, motionlessness and fossilization shell, as well as, blind imitation, in order to make him think scientifically for enriching his life with discoveries of mind and science and, also, his knowledge being increased about the universe and its great Creator for believing and worshiping Him with regard to the aware faith and alive thinking.

As Allah (be He exalted) says: "Thus does Allah make clear to you the signs, that you may ponder." Holy Qur'an (2:219) "And We set forth there parables to men that they may reflect." Holy Qur'an (59:21) "Most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect." Holy Qur'an (39:42) "Do they not reflect within themselves, Allah did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them twain but with truth, and (for) an appointed term?

And most surely most of the people are deniers of the meeting with their Lord." Holy Qur'an (30:8) It was narrated that the Messenger of Allah (a.s.) said: "Allah enlightens a servant; he who heard my saying and learned it by heart or realized it and performed it as it was heard.

For may one be a bearer of jurisprudence, but, he is not a jurist, and may a person know jurisprudence better than one who is more juristic?"(1) Quoting Imam al-Sadiq - upon whom be peace - in another tradition, he says: "Allah will never accept an act that does not associate with knowledge; and no knowledge but with action. So, the one who has knowledge, it will lead him to act and the one who does not work is no longer obtaining knowledge.

Whereas, now, surely, belief comes to the same result in each other."(2) It was stated that the Sunnah of the Prophet has urged people to place great emphasis on thought, thinking and understanding.
