Reaching To The Truth Via Revelation Or Via Intellect
We humans have been been given innate sense of one Creator and innate sense of basic morality. Therefore, every human being, even in the absence of a prophet, can reach to the conclusion of one creator and can distinguish between basic good and basic evil. This can be considered a commonality between a follower of a prophet and the one who reached this conclusion in the absence of a prophet. However, the details of the religion which are given through a Prophet like Being of God, Attributes of God and other directives of Sharia, they cannnot be achevied via mere intellect and these two people cannot reach the same conclusion in this regard.
