Revelation,
Rationality, Knowledge & Truth
Any divide between revelation and
rationality, religion and logic has to be irrational. If religion
and rationality cannot
proceed hand in hand, there has to be something deeply wrong with
either of the two. Does revelation play any vital role in human affairs?
Is
not rationality sufficient to guide man in all the problems which
confront him? Numerous questions such as these are examined with
minute attention.
All major issues which intrigue the modern mind
are attempted to be incorporated in this fascinatingly comprehensive
statute. Whatever the
intellectual or educational background of the reader, this book
is bound to offer him something of his interest. It examines
a very diverse and wide range of subjects including the concept
of revelation in different religions, history of philosophy, cosmology,
extraterrestrial life, the future of life on earth, natural selection
and its role in evolution. It also elaborately discusses the
advent of the Messiah, or other universal reformers, awaited
by different
religions. Likewise, many other topical issues which have been
agitating
the human mind since time immemorial are also incorporated.
The
main emphasis is on the ability of the Quran to correctly discuss
all important events of the past, present and future from
the beginning of the universe to its ultimate end. Aided by strong
incontrovertible
logic and scientific evidence, the Quran does not shy away
from presenting itself to the merciless scrutiny of rationality.
It
will be hard
to find a reader whose queries are not satisfactorily answered.
We hope
that most readers will testify that this will always stand
out as a book among books—perhaps the greatest literary achievement
of this century.
