  • Human Nature And Potential

    Posted by Muhammad Abdullah Ali on May 31, 2024 at 2:02 pm

    What is the difference in human potential (داعیہ) and nature (فطرت)? Is it that unity of God and moral conscious falls under nature and other human capabilities like walking, speaking etc falls in potential? (If they are different). Secondly, if different, how modern science and evolutionary psychology see this difference?

    All the human potentials are in human nature. Human nature is comprised of these potentials.

    To believe in the creator is natural. It is like natural urges like hunger and thirst.

    But to believe in a conscious creator and one creator are inference. It is the faculty of intellect.

    But according to evolutionary sciences, urges like hunger and thurst and other mechanisms are adaptations. How the God and Moral conscious fits into this criteria if it is considered that it was adaptive and why and Allah clearly stats in the Quran that after nourishing you we blowed soul in you (ضمیر، شعور)۔

    According to Ghamidi sahabs theological stance, Allah will question about fulfillment of one’s nature’s demands. How can God leave it to some adaptive mechanisms and if not how can human nature that is adaptive and that is not but metaphysical can come under the same banner?

    Human cell or embryo attains nourishment and consciousness over a time to become a conscious man. This process might have taken a lot more time for the first human. Evolutionary process is initiated by God.

    This is what God has planned for man to come to a status to receive His word and act upon it.
