Do you think religious guidelines are common sense? If so, why didn’t the people of daur-e-jahiliyat have this sense?

Common sense is not so common.

@ravage

religious guidelines are not common sense.

Says who?

The meaning of common sense is variable too. What constitutes common sense for one may not be common sense for other.

One can say religious dogmas are not mathematical equations like 2+2= 4.

@BarbieCue

So point being, religious guidelines aren’t common sense.

Not really correct.

@Naabigh

Well they are but thing is unfortunately we are at the stage from where we cant see them being common sense ..

Every society / religion has three stages of evolution .

1. Revelation
2. Revolution
3. Superstition

Sadly at this point of time we are stuck with Superstition - the common sense guidelines are turned into rituals and religion is run like an institution .

now we want to go back to revelation or revolution - it is tough call to make !

Hummm.. Makes some ‘sense’. Have an idea what you are saying but but not sure what you meant by the stages, and their order.
