In Addition to Rationality, Man Needs Revelation.

Speaking at the first pre-meeting of international conference of Imam Reza (A.S.) and Interfaith Dialogue at Hamdard University in Delhi, Ayatollah Muhammad Hadi Abdkhodaei stressed, “Wisdom, as one of the best features of mankind, is an internal power which can distinguish between right and wrong. In addition to rationality, however, the man needs prophets’ missions and revelations”.
Scientific secretary of Imam Reza (A.S.) and Religions’ Dialogue conference stated, “Wisdom and recognition ways are various. They can be categorized into natural and non-natural. The non-natural way is the revelation way which is for prophets and divine people only. Natural ways can be divided into three ways which includes inner nature, wisdom and science”.
Ayatollah Abdkhodaei went on to say, “Sometimes the ignorance occupies mankind’s existence in way that his intellect cannot work and although he is physically present, his mind is somewhere else”.
He added, “Sometimes poverty exhausts human’s mind in a way that his mind is not able to work anymore. So, he is just trying to settle his current problems”.
Member of the assembly of experts reiterated, “Man’s intellect is sometimes highly affected by passion and its attacks to the extent that passion overcomes and the intellect is defeated and a moment of sensuality leads to a life-time regret”.  
“Also, the Holy Qur’an has taught the correct ways of reasoning particularly on issues related to beliefs and theology”, Ayatollah Abdkhodaei continued.
It is worth mentioning that the first pre-meeting of Imam Reza (A.S.) and Interfaith Dialogue international dialogue is taking place, by Astan Quds Razavi, at Hamdard University in New Delhi.
