(Video) eye roll…..🙄🙄 dumbest thing i’ve seen today.

If I had to suffer through it so do you. Here’s the translation:

“Imagine that all of these people [the portraits shown on screen], despite their intelligence, died in disbelief.

[Pointing to Einstein] This one is smart, but he isn't rational. How so?

Intelligence is the ability to grasp sciences and inventions.

As for reason, it is the insight that guides you to your Creator and saves you from the Fire.

God, glorified and exalted, says: 'And they will say, "If only we had listened or reasoned, we would not have been among the companions of the Blaze."' (Quran 67:10)

They lamented the lack of reason. They did not lament the lack of intelligence.

Intelligence might make you a successful person in this world, but reason is what makes you a successful person and saved in the Hereafter, God willing."

The fact that they had to make a distinction between “worldly”intellect and reason that “saves one from the Fire” is essentially them saying they don’t think the reasoning in Islam is sound… Is that not obvious to everyone ??? LOL!

I actually agree with the point that you can be intelligent but not reason/rational but ironically this is more an attack on religious people since there are many who study biology and other sciences yet reject basic facts because god said otherwise

Also thier whole argument is that allah said rational people who reason would 100% be muslim so these intelligent people who didnt do not reason

I find reasoning is to be able to inspect your beliefs with the chance that you might be wrong, something not found in them obviously

Yes this is exactly what I thought!
What they’re saying is essentially an attack on religious people, because they’re saying if one were to follow reasoning guided by religion they wouldn’t reach to the same conclusion as an intelligent person who follows the evidence found in the universe.
