Summary/Abstract: Intellect occupies a very important place in Islam. Not one of the past revelations directs our attention to intellect, its role and significance in the life of man, as does the Book of Islam. A superficial glance at a Qur’anic text will reveal verses that end with the words: so that you would understand.” “...so that you would think.” “...to those who understand”, and which are repeated dozens of times. Despite this, certain sects have appeared and disagreements emerged. Some extolled the intellect and assigned to it a higher place than it deserved. Contrary to this view, others completely neglected the intellect and denied its value. The first generations of Muslims and their honorable followers remained steadfast and held firmly to the Truth, which was the reason for the flourishing of Islamic civilization and all scientific fields: medicine, philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, geography, etc.
