当你比较两个人，一个顺服真主，另一个违抗真主时，你会发现顺服真主的人理智更好，见解更为健全，而且往往更接近真理。因此，你会发现《古兰经》总是称呼“有理智的人”：（所以你们应当敬畏我，有理智的人啊）6，（所以你们应当敬畏真主，有理智的人啊，以便你们成功）7，（只有有理智的人才会觉悟）8。一个人若违抗真主，怎能拥有真正的理智呢？他明知真主在统管着自己的世界，明知真主正在注视着他，却仍然犯罪；他明知无法向真主的目光隐藏自己，却无视这样做会招致真主的诅咒。他知道自己的罪恶行为使他远离真主的喜悦和真主的庇佑，他知道在审判日他将无法得以仰望真主的尊容，并且将与那些遭受真主震怒的人同在一处。若是为了满足一时、一天，甚至一年的私欲，而放弃永恒的恩典——天园，这还有什么道理可言呢？为永恒的恩典而生活，这正是信士在今世和后世所获得的幸福。对于一个有理智的人来说，不难明白：要获得今世和后世真正的快乐、幸福与喜悦，就必须取悦主，不招致祂的震怒和诅咒。一个遵循主的命令、从而取悦真主的人，会在生活中享受真正的快乐，他那有生命的心灵能感受到所赐予它的每一份恩惠。而一个触怒真主、沉溺于罪恶行为的人，则不会摆脱忧虑、焦虑和痛苦。 因此,一个人若舍弃与那些蒙受真主恩典者为伴——即众先知、忠实跟随穆罕默德ﷺ的人、殉道者和善人——而与那些招致真主的愤怒和诅咒者为伍,那么他的理智必定有缺陷。

When you consider two people, one obedient to Allah and the other disobedient to Allah, you will see that the intellect of the one who is obedient to Allah is better, that his/her opinion is sounder, and that he/she is often closer to the truth. Therefore, you find that the Qur'an always addresses 'men of understanding': ( So fear me, 0 men of understanding) 6 and ( So fear Allah, 0 men of understanding, in order that you may be successful.) 7 and ( But none remember, except men of understanding. ) 8 How could a person have true intellect if he/she disobeys Allah ~ in Allah's World, knowing that He ~ is watching over him/her? He/she commits a sin, knowing that he/she cannot conceal himself from Allah's Sight, ignoring the fact that he/she is inviting the Curse of Allah ~ upon him/her. He/she knows that his/her sinful activities drive him/her away from Allah's Pleasure and Allah's Protection. He/she knows that he/she would be denied looking at Allah's Face on the Day of Judgment, and would be in the company of those who had earned Allah's Anger. What sense of reason could there be in preferring the satisfaction of one's own pleasure, which lasts an hour, a day or even a year, to Everlasting Grace, in Paradise? To live for Everlasting Grace is the happiness given to a believer, in this world and the Hereafter. It is not difficult for a reasonable person to realize that attaining real pleasure, happiness and delight in this life and the Hereafter requires that one pleases the Lord, and does not earn His Anger nor His Curse. A person who pleases Allah ~. by adhering to His Commands, enjoys real pleasure in life, with a living heart that experiences every blessing bestowed upon it. But one who displeases Allah ~ ' indulging in sinful activities, would not be free of worry, anxiety or misery. Therefore, a person who exchanges the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace; the Prophets, the true followers of Prophet Muhammad I;, the martyrs, and the righteous, with those who have earned Allah's Anger and Curse, certainly has a defective intellect.
