Critical Thinking and Islam

This work is aimed at providing an Islamic perspective on few selected informal logical fallacies. It serves an introduction to the theme of critical thinking and opens ways of reflecting on it, which is the main portion of critical thinking as a subject.Islamic critical thinking in principles and details becomes different from Western critical thinking in many ways. Some of it could be seen in the details of this work. And Muslims should be critical within their own given parameters -- being critical within the confines of reason and revelation, not as an opposite approach in which reason may be taken as an opposite to revelation and vice versa, but as a complimentary approach. According to Islam Allah created the first human being as the seminal beginning of the world population as it is today and Allah gave reason, senses, and revelation to the first man to guide him. Therefore, according to Islam all these faculties should be respected and if they are used properly they will help people leading and living a well guided and righteous life.
