Re: Islam promoting thought and false accusations: Att. Ummm
Knowledge is necessary for thinking, but not suffecient. My question is: does Islam allow you to question the Quran? The answer is “No.”
*005.101 *
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Ask not of things which, if they were made unto you, would trouble you; but if ye ask of them when the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be made known unto you. Allah pardoneth this, for Allah is Forgiving, Clement.
SHAKIR: O you who believe! do not put questions about things which if declared to you may trouble you, and if you question about them when the Quran is being revealed, they shall be declared to you; Allah pardons this, and Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.

And if some people logically analyse the Quran and find it ridiculous, they will burn in hell
Surah 18 verse 106. That is their reward, Hell, because they rejected Faith, and took My Signs and My Messengers by way of jest.

If you restrict a person’s freedom to question, you obviously don’t allow him to think.
BTW, I didn’t come across a single verse from Quran that allows people to think and question Quran. All I saw were verses calling non-believers “devoid of wisdom”, “have no sense”, etc…
