# ISLAM & THE MIND #

• Man, alone blessed with intellectual capacity, is honoured above all other creatures and is made ALLAH's khalifah (vicegerent) on earth, everything in which is made subservient to man.
• Man is to worship his Creator not only by observing given ritual practices, but also by leading a righteous moral life guided by the dictates of the Revelation and the conscience of his mind which distinguished right from wrong and good from evil.
• In gratitude to his Creator, man should choose the right path, and be obedient to his Lord Who always watching over hm.
• As far as possible, the mind should always be nourished with knowledge that adds to its sharpness enlightenment and wisdom.
• Moral and religious obligations only belong to sound conscious mind. Without it, a person cannot be held responsible. He cannot be held responsible for a thing done in oblivion or under coercion.
