Most Basic Demand Of Religion?
While Islam does indeed aim to rationally explain all of its arguments, it’s not correct to conclude that it’s fundamental requirement is to shift the focus from empirical evidence to intellectual evidence. All of human knowledge essentially has three fundamental sources: empirical evidence, intellect (inference, inductive logic, deductive logic), and established facts of history. Quran uses all three of these sources to establish it’s case. With that said, it’s correct to conclude that the Quran wants us to believe on the basis of reason and rationality rather than blindly following anything.
