“It is compulsory upon [each individual] to choose their faith by themselves and [as a result] know the truth.”
“Faith is tested and recognised by two methods: tradition … and the intellect.”
“This proves that one is not excused for performing Taqlfd [following someone without knowing the evidence].”
“The one who relies on proof for [issues relating to] his faith is the one who is following the truth.”
“what we follow is the truth and what others follow is falsehood.”
“Shaykh [Abu Mansur] stated that both of these opinions are incorrect and are not acceptable in uncovering the truth.”
“The proof that the creator of the Universe is one and not more than that is based on reason as well as tradition.”
“There is no strength to fin d the truth except bj God.”
“God is known not by the senses.”
“It is proven that God knew it before it existed, when there was nothing other than Him.”
