AS-SALAAM-ALAIKUM (I wish
for you th Puc that only can
come fJ1)m All h and that is a very
deep, cC5'mforting and lasting peace.
There is none like it anywhere).
In th Holy Quran it says;
"00 y not see thaf God has sub
jected to your (use) all things in
the Heav ns and on Earth, and has
made His bounties Flow to you in
exceeding Measure, (both) seen and
unseen? Yet there are among men
those who dispute about God,
without a book to enlighten them!"
(31:20)
I would like to continue our
discussion from last week on
science and AI-lsi m. The human
being is different than Allah's
other creation in that he has in
telligence. He is not a creature
that is a slave to instinct. What we
need to understand is that human
intellect ushers in moral respon
sibility. If the humanbeing uses
his reasoning powers sooner or later
he will come to a moral conclusion.
What do I mean? He will come to a
conclusion that will benefit hi
fellowman. If we look at history
we see that man (humanity) has
de loped in his relationship with
men of different countries and
cultures. More and more we hear
the call demanding leadership (U.S.
President) to develop a peaceful
relationship with. other countries.
Only the human being can evolve
to such sophisticated level. We
have the ability to corr ct our
inhumanity and prejudice to wo-
men and people of other races than ,

our own. W have the ability via
int Ii t reasoning to that our
enviornment CiIIn be threat n with
polution from m ny sources and
t come to mor I decisions to sav
our nvironment and to protect
our h alth. If we did not come to
such conclusions w would destroy
ourselves; So you see that Allah
has given us a nature that will
protect and guide us to the best
life if are aware of the signs
that H has planted in our natural
dlsposrtlon and in the nature of
other forms of creation (mentioned
last week (The Ants, The B s,
The Spider, etc.). One of the
books mentioned in the bov
verse (31:20) is The Holy Quran.
Allah rev aled every word in it to
prophet Muhammad of 1400 yrs.
ago. It is not only a book of re
ligious instruction but it is book
also that instructs it's re d r to
study the creation for scientific
discoveries.
What mankind has to b car ful
of is the historical tendency to gi
the credit for his discovery to man
himself rather than to the Cre tor
who created what man only dis
covers. (2:255) So Quran warns
man to reflect and study history
to see what was the end of those
who fell into the tendency to
elevate themselves over the p pie
as "God" because they had amassed
great power and wealth (2:258)
Allak-u-Akbar (God is Great!)
Next week, The Attributes of
Allah. they are signs for mans
guidance.
