two of them:<br />

1. Deduction is obligatory<br />

When man faces some correct and incorrect affairs, when his guidance depends of the correct<br />

and his misguidance depends on the incorrect, then it is incumbent on him to distinguish between<br />

them, that he may know the correct from among them and he follow it, and that he may know the<br />

corrupt from among them and he keeps far from it. It is natural that such a distinction do not<br />

happen except through establishing proof and argument. This indicates that thinking and<br />

deduction in such an affair is obligatory.<br />

2. Guidance is Occurrence<br />

The verse demonstrates that guidance is new and incidental; it is well‐known that every incidental<br />

must have a founder also it must have and acceptor. As for him who finds guidance, He is Allah,<br />

the Most High; for this reason He has ascribed it to Himself, saying: Those are they whom Allah<br />

has guided. As for those who accept it, they are the men of straight intellects, and to this meaning<br />

He, the Exalted, has referred in His words: and those it is who are the men of understanding. It is<br />

well‐known that man accepts guidance through his reason and not through his body and limbs. If<br />

he had in<strong>com</strong>plete reason, it is impossible for him to acquire knowledge and understanding.<br />

Shaykh Mulla Sadr al‐Deen, may Allah have mercy on him, has established a proof of the incidence<br />

of guidance and<br />

[1] Shaykh Mullah Sadra's name is Muhammed b. Ibrahim al‐Shirazi. He was wise, famous and had<br />

knowledge of Allah. He was the most knowledgeable of the people of his time in wisdom. The<br />

author of the book al‐Salafa has said: "He (Mullah Sadra) mastered all arts of wisdom." Mullah<br />

Sadra has the four books. He explained the book Usool al‐Kafi and some Qur'anic verses. He died<br />

in Basrah in the year 1050 A. H. This has been mentioned in the book al‐Kuna wa al‐Alqab.<br />

[1] Qur'an, Surat al‐Zumer, verses 17‐18.<br />

of its Doer, Who is Allah, the Exalted. He has elaborated on that. Imam Musa, peace be on him,<br />

has said: "O Hisham, surely Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, <strong>com</strong>pleted for men the proofs through<br />

reason, and helped the prophets with the explanation, and guided them to His Lordship through<br />

demonstrations, when He has said: And your Lord is one God! There is no god but He; He is the<br />

Beneficent, the Merciful. Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the<br />

alternation of the night and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that which profits men,<br />

and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to the earth after its<br />

death and spreads in it all (kinds of) animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made<br />

subservient between the haven and the earth, there are signs for a people who understand."[1]<br />
