Summary
Human beings are honoured by Allah with intellect, which enables them to think, distinguish truth from falsehood, and prevail over other creatures. Although the human body is small and weak, intellect lets people manage and surpass other beings, including animals with special abilities that still act under human direction. This blessing of intellect must be used to reflect on the greatness of Allah and obey His commands, and be received with gratitude without associating partners with Him.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam isu ini, kami nyatakan bahawa manusia itu dimuliakan oleh Allah SWT dengan diberikan akal fikiran yang mampu untuk berfikir mengatasi setiap ciptaan makhluknya yang lain.
