Jumia Books Not to Try to Investigate with Reason the Things That Have Been Understood Through Convention Written by Hüseyin Hilmi Işık

Not to Try to Investigate with Reason the Things That Have Been Understood Through Convention by Hüseyin Hilmi Işık is a profound and contemplative Islamic work that challenges modern assumptions about reason, tradition, and religious understanding. With intellectual depth and spiritual clarity, the author invites readers to reconsider the role of rational inquiry when it comes to truths that have already been established through divine guidance and communal consensus.

In this book, Hüseyin Hilmi Işık explores:

The distinction between rational knowledge and revealed knowledge

The dangers of applying speculative reasoning to matters of faith

How Islamic tradition preserves truths that transcend human logic

The importance of trusting the  scholars and the consensus (ijma) of the ummah

The balance between intellectual curiosity and spiritual humility

The book is anchored in classical Islamic thought, drawing from Qur’anic verses, Hadith, and the writings of respected scholars. It warns against the modern tendency to question everything, especially sacred truths that have been preserved through centuries of practice and scholarship. The metaphor of the light bulb within the human head—featured on the cover—symbolizes the tension between enlightenment and overconfidence in human intellect.

This work is ideal for:

Students of Islamic philosophy and theology

Readers interested in the limits of reason in religious discourse

Muslims seeking to deepen their understanding of tradition and convention

Thinkers navigating the intersection of faith, modernity, and skepticism

Hüseyin Hilmi Işık’s message is clear: not all truths are meant to be dissected by reason. Some are meant to be accepted, lived, and transmitted with reverence. This book is a call to intellectual humility and spiritual trust—a reminder that faith begins where reason ends.
