out in the Muslim world, it would
be better for you to establish a committee made up of scholars
with a good command of Arabic to search what the Qur'an, the final
divine book, says!
....You will surely find out that
the Qur'an is a divine book, you will find what you are looking
for in it, you will be spiritually satisfied, and hopefully you
will have faith in it.
....Do not dare to follow the way
of the idol-worshippers at the time of Prophet Ibrahim who said:
"It is better for us to follow the path of our fathers."
....Allah answers such a statement
in the Qur'an as follows:
...."What! Even though their fathers
knew nothing and did not follow the right way." (Maeda, 104)
....Yes! What if your fathers knew
nothing and you adamantly remain on the wrong path?
....Was it not the bishops and the
priests who excommunicated Galileo, the founder of modern physics,
when he claimed that the Earth revolves around the Sun? Were not
those bishops in the wrong then?
....If you look at the Qur'an, you
will see that it explains how not only the Earth, but also the
Moon and the Sun are in orbit, and this was over a thousand years
before Galileo: "All float on in a sphere." (Ya-Seen, 40)
