How To Reawaken Internal Guidance And The Innate Voice That Allah Sent Us With?
I don’t think there’s an innate guidance to believe in 1 God or any idea of good or bad. All we have is consciousness and yearning to find meaning. That yearning take people to different paths.
Thanks Faisal. My question is more related to NonMuslims and Muslims who call themselves Muslims because they are born into it. How can they get in touch with their inner voice and recognize it before anyone comes in to invite them to Islam, answer their questiins and provide a copy of Quran to read. Wouldn’t this be the first step where first we direct a person to get in touch with the inner voice before we even talk about Islam and expand on the concept of one god?
Plz share the ayah, say Allah has provided concept of Tauheed innately? If u r referring to 91:8, then the Surah starts by talking about creation of sun, earth, nafs and idea of good and bad given to humans. Immediately after if follows a story of perished nation who denied their rasool so that ayah is more related to revealed guidance and not innate World Ilham is only used here in Quran. For divine inspiration for non-prophets, word Wahi is used (bee, Moses AS’s mother) Main reason I don’t believe in innate fitrah is as above (lack of evidence from history/science) and mere fact that people who search for meaning don’t come to Islam all the time, they become Buddhist, Hindu, spiritualist etc. they find their meaning of life. So if there’s really a fitrah then it shouldn’t be satisfied by anything except tauheed but if it does then isn’t it good evidence to believe there’s no such thing as innate guidance but only a stimulus to look for meaning?
