“God, glorified is He, argued with His servants through the words of His messengers and prophets, establishing what He wished them to acknowledge and accept by the ways nearest to reason, easiest to grasp, least burdensome, most beneficial, and greatest in fruit and benefit. His rational arguments explained in His Book combine reason and revelation: they are clear and evident, have few premises, are easy to understand and readily accessible, dispel doubts and uncertainties, and bind the stubborn denier. Thus, the knowledge derived from them is firmer in hearts and more beneficial to people generally.”
