Critical Thinking vs. Shariah: Can Allah Communicate the Knowledge of Good and Evil?

Description

The Knowledge of Good and Bad.

a1.1. There is no disagreement among the scholars of the Muslims that the source of legal rulings for all the acts of those who are morally responsible is Allah Most Glorious”.

Really? There's no disagreement among the scholars that the source of legal rulings is Allah? Wait a minute, how does Allah make legal rulings? We are told Islam claims Muhammad was the last prophet, and if that is true, how would anyone hear Allah’s rulings today?

a1.2. The question arises: is it possible for the mind alone, unaided by Allah’s messengers and revealed scriptures, to know rulings, such that someone not reached by a prophet's invitation would be able, through his own, to know Allah’s rule concerning his actions? Or is this impossible?”

Think about this. Is it possible to know right from wrong apart from Allah's intervention? Is it possible for you to know right from wrong with some kind of divine intervention? Are there things that you just know are wrong and things that you just know are right? Did God have to divinely intervene so you can know those things? Are there some things that are just known to be wrong? For example, is it always wrong to torture babies for the sole pleasure of hearing them cry? If this is something you feel is true, then is Allah unknowing in his law, which would reduce his status from being god.
