Fitrah Being A Source Of Truth
Posted by A Hasan on May 5, 2021 at 3:31 pmGhamidi sahab says that the fitrah is a source of truth. I have one question. God gave you this fitrah. I concede that definitely it is in the fitrah to believe in a God and that he is truthful. But what is the evidence that this fitrah is a source of truth.At the end of the video he says we should know our limits. I agree. Is it then our limit not to surpass our fitrah?

Fitrah Being A Source Of Truth

Member May 5, 2021 at 4:29 pmbrother… i read the previous discussion…. and i am still confused that what is the objective of this discussion… i mean it is totally useless in any sense….. and now your question… “What is the evidence that fitrah is the source of truth?”…. don’t you think that if you are against the fitrah that Allah has bestowed you it leads you to be a disbeliever… or if you have believed in the fact that THERE IS REALLY A CREATOR OF UNIVERSE than don’t you think it is ridiculous that either He is lying or not lying (mazAllah) to a tiny little creature on a tiny planet
and the fact that there is a human fitrah
don’t you think what is that fitrah must be a prior discussion for this?

Contributor May 5, 2021 at 4:30 pmGreat objection. The answer would be that if we are being deceived there is nothing we can do.

Member May 5, 2021 at 4:38 pmbrother it seems totally an illogical question (thinking that the Creator is deceiving the creature for unknown reason)…. and how to know that He ain’t deceiving us🙄

Contributor May 5, 2021 at 4:39 pmIf I play Devil’s advocate I can say that the creator has his reasons and he’s made it impossible for you to think about why he would do it.
And the point I’m making is not that we are being deceived or we aren’t. Rather we have no ultimate way of knowing.
Like I wrote above it seems we have to be dogmatic about fitrah and just accept it because we have no other thing to follow

Contributor May 5, 2021 at 9:38 pmI think the issue is wanting to know ultimate knowledge.
As a limited human being it is impossible for me to know a reality like God or understand his intentions and motives.
So perhaps I shouldn’t be arrogant enough to raise doubt about his truth when he himself has told us that he is the truth.
It’s just the ‘what if?’ and ‘how can we know for sure?’ which is discomforting.
