Summary: | It is historically evident that the main arguments regarding the intellect and revelation is
basically about which of the two supersedes the other and whichis more superior. This
paper looks mainly at the concept and understanding of the intellect through some
dictionaries and in the major works of the great scholars. The paper further delves into the
cognates there are for the intellect in the Qur'an to strengthen the arguments of the
scholars. The wok is encyclopaedic though, it should not be misconstrued as depending on
solely on 'encyclopaedias' as it generally connotes; it is encyclopaedic in the sense that it
deals with major works of the selected scholars. |
