[wJswn5l3]

Slogans like "The intellect is what sets the human apart from the animals and other creations" and "Our intellects let us distinguish between falsehood and righteousness" seem akward to me. Because doesn't Allah ta'ala say that he has installed Fujur and Taqwa in our hearts? Doesn't that mean that primarily the voice from our heart (which they simply brand as emotions) guides us to righteousness according to the level of our Taqwa?

I read in the introduction to Ma'ariful Qur'an by Mufti Muhammad Taqi Uthmani [db], that the human has three sources of knowledge/guidance: 1. Senses, 2. Mind & 3. Wahi. And he explained beautifully how each of the first two has his boundaries (and the following starts from where the previous ended). So there are so many things we wouldn't know of without revealation, no matter how much we would've used our intellect.

If a sound mind was enough to practise upon Islam, then why did Rasulullah mention the sound heart as a condition for the correct use of the body? Then they don't regard anyone's Iman to be complete until he is rationally convinced by the truthfulness of Islam. I mentioned a story of a Sahabi who accepted Islam on the basis of a dream, but then they reply that it was his mind which "processed the data" received in the dream. But then why does Allah ta'ala say: "Whoever Allah wishes to guide, He opens his heart to Islam." [6:125] if you can not be a Muslim based on what they call "emotions"?

Maybe better words to put my confusion in would be: Does the naql (revealation) knock on the door of our mind or on the door of our heart?
