  • Defect In Intellectually Rewarding Thought

    Posted by Javed on September 14, 2025 at 2:16 pm

    Why is it that the more interesting and riveting and intellectually rewarding ideas and philosophies are mostly wrong and false and mostly “سادی بات ہی درست ہوتی ہے” ?

    There are many such examples, take the example of Iqbal’s reconstruction of religious thought in islam. Or Sir Syed Ahmed Khan’s thought of extracting thought that Quran predicting trains and atomic bomb e.t.c

    and sahil adeem thought that quran gives technologies e.t.c and quranic physics e.t.c

    And also this video by dr irfan shehzad explaining idea by person that quran cannot br interpreted as it is noori qalam

    So Is this defect left by God in man or is it produced by himself that the “laghwiyat” or interesting stuff is usually a misinterpretation of the true fikr or text as we see in multiple interpretation of Quran (different exegesis and tabeerat-e-islam). Also in philosophy and other epistemological fields as well that the interesting stuff is usually a distortion of the facts and real facts are usually plain and not that intellectually rewarding to pursue.

    SO MY QUESTION IS IS THIS DEFECT OR FEATURE PUT BY GOD IN HUMANS OR IS IT JUST RESULT OF HIS NATURE?

    even in myself i observe that im usually attracted to these other things rather than the saada or plain thought.

    This is a human faculty. It is not a defect in nature but free will to distort a reality or invent the meaning from something which are not there. This is the test of intellect to see the truth or reality when there are other wrong ways to distort the facts. This test is is the part of the great scheme of test which includes other aspects like that of moral and of obedience to God.

      yes but I’m asking specifically why is it generally more rewarding to work on the other meaning other than the plain or obvious one which are generally distortions of the truth.

    It is not more rewarding to work on the other meanings. It is rewarding to try to know the actual meanings without involving personal preferences.
