Perfect man and perfect behaviour (19)

Valuation to “School of mind”

According to Islam, faith and action should be parallel and under equal degree.

Unlike other schools, faith and action cannot be sacrificed to each other.

From this point of view, the most philosophers’ concept of “perfect man” actually is the concept of “imperfect man”.

So, only one side of their “perfect man” is perfect.

Those philosophers’ “perfect man” actually only “statue of knowledge”.

He only knows and nothing else.

According to these concepts, perfect man is a creature that knows everything very well, that’s all.

So, perfectness is possible even the values like fervor, warmth, love, affection do not exist.

But, the Islamic school ignores this concept.

According to Islam, that “perfect man” is a universe that sits in the one corner.

From this point of view, that is immobile, imperfect.
