' Again the Qur'an says...

' Again the Qur'an says: “We will soon show them our signs in the world and in their minds to assure them that the Qur'an is true.” (41: 53) In fact, when someone has faith in God, everything else is reduced to nothing for him, for, he has found something compared with which other things are worthless, Sa'di has expressed this idea beautifully in his poetic work 'Boostan': “The way of intellect is a maze; but, for the wise there is nothing but God .” And to explain the matter of nothingness, he says: “This can be told to a discerner of truth, but men of conjecture will cavil at it, Saying, what, then, are heaven and earth?

Who are human beings, beasts and demons?” He, then, answers his questions and says they are not mutually incompatible: “You, my wise friend, have asked well, and I will answer to your intellect's approval; That the sun, sea, mountain and firmaments, human beings, demons, jinn, and angels, Whatever they may be, they are too inferior to speak of existence, before His Essence.” If He is, other things are nothing.

It is impossible to turn to another pole once a man knows God, or to assume anything as a goal. Thus, faith in Islam is higher than any possibility of comparison with any other maker but God, a truth and reality before which nothing may be considered true and real. But is wisdom, which is claimed by a sage, of importance in Islam? The principle of wisdom, that is, recognition of facts as they are, is acceptable in Islam.

The Qur'an says: “He will grant the blessing of wisdom to anyone He wishes, and he who found it, received much goodness.” (2: 269) How can we interpret this verse? Wisdom is called a human blessing, and is almost the equivalent of perfection, and not only something useful. Justice, too, is similar, that is, social justice. Of course social justice is related to the perfection of individuals concerning moral justice.

Islam believes in moderation with respect to powers and instincts, and rejects extravagance. It does not consider the rule of intellect alone adequate, should also be faith, Islam regards human power to philosophize as too weak to be a ruler of man, philosophy combined with faith can act as a governor.
