By logic, I know out of creation, there exists those who are most good in deeds, the best of them, those who excel in goodness and are of exalted honor.
I know of the best creation, there would be those special in God's eyes.
I know by logic, that God being praiseworthy, graceful, and majestic, would honor them with is closeness, bestow upon them higher wisdom, and that they are those purified by God through out their lives, as their intentions are pure and high.
By logic, I know they are most fit for leadership, and that they wish to guide others and help others awaken from the darkness of themselves, to the light of God and ascend on the journey to God.
These leaders are no where to be found but in religion.
No book emphasizes on following such people, clinging to them, their exalted station, their purity, their sincere righteous station, and their relationship to God and to humanity, as does the Quran.
Furthermore in the spiritual world, there needs to be a connection between the eternal absolute and the imperfect chain hearts. This connection occurs through their companionship, and that such a guide and leader existing in each age, needs to be reminded in a holy book.
Aside from the OP, I argued that the false unjust authority of leaders of misguidance are to be rejected and no book emphasized on rejecting their leadership and replacing it with authority of God and his chosen ones, then the Quran.
This wisdom is uniquely emphasized in the Quran.
How did you come to any of these logical conclusions?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
