About the Book

God-consciousness grows from knowledge of revelation. Attaining knowledge of revelation, however, requires recourse to reason. Retaining knowledge of revelation requires establishing and retaining a balance between revelation and reason.
The balance between revelation and reason was established differently in different parts of the world. As a result, access to revelation takes place in different ways in different parts of the world. The result of a less than perfect integration of reason and revelation was the corruption of knowledge. The corruption of knowledge in turn brought a partial separation of people from the Creator. East and West became estranged from revelation, each in its way. In the East, access to the knowledge of revelation was hampered by the repression of reason. As a result, revelation was subordinated to tradition. The repression of reason allowed folklore to taint the knowledge of revelation. It also enabled the emergence of problematic rulings. In the West, access to revelation was restricted by the emergence of empiricism, which teaches that "seeing is believing." Accepting exclusively empirically verifiable phenomena as real reduces access to spirituality. At the root of the corruption of the knowledge of revelation is the perception that reason and revelation are "adversaries" rather than allies. This perception facilitated the repression of reason in the East and the marginalisation of faith in the West. The result was the marginalisation of religion and confusion. This upset the relationship between reason and revelation. Balance is important. Western persons applaud themselves on the rationality of their civilization. But is it really as rational as they would like us to believe? We witnessed wars and suffering in the recent past on an unprecedented scale. Are these conflagrations reflections of rational human beings? Are these the acts of rational persons? The West is far from being as "rational" as a few persons would have us believe. These aberrations were in part the result of a misunderstanding of the relationship between reason and revelation and the requirement to reach and retain a proper relationship between the two. Reason is required to understand the teaching of revelation. Reason is also required for the implementation of the teaching of revelation, properly understood. Unfortunately, it appears that the balance between reason and revelation was disturbed and requires restoration. How do we restore the balance? In finance, we restore the balance by raising income. In psychology, we restore the balance by raising awareness. In politics, we reach a balance of power. But how to restore spiritual balance? How do we redress the experience of alienation, separation from the relatives and from God? He established the balance, and we would be wise to respect it. In this work we explore the ways in which Islam and West resolved the alleged "tension" between reason and revelation. They both missed the mark, albeit in different ways. The West placed too much emphasis on reason while traditional Islam places too much emphasis on tradition, understood as revelation. To achieve a balance, the West has to become more spiritual while traditional Muslims should be rational.
