Are humans a being whom God furnishes with the faculty of thought?

Question

In truth, each person possesses a capacity for thought of which even he himself is unaware. Once man begins to use this capacity, facts he has not been able to realise until that very moment begin to be uncovered for him. The deeper he goes in reflection, the more his capacity to think improves, and this is possible for everyone. One just has to realise that one needs to reflect and then to strive hard.

The purpose of this question is "think as they should" and show ways of "thinking as they should". Someone who does not think will remain totally distant from truths and lead his life in self-deception and error. As a result, he will not grasp the purpose of the creation of the world, and the reason for his existence on the earth. Yet, God has created everything with a purpose. This fact is stated in the Qur'an as follows:

We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them as a game. We did not create them except with truth but most of them do not know it. (Quran)

This fact is stated in the Bible as follows:

Genesis 5:2
He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them "man. "

Therefore, each person needs to ponder the purpose of creation, first as it concerns him himself, and then as it pertains to everything he sees in the universe and every event he experiences throughout his life. Someone who does not think, will understand the facts only after he dies, when he gives account before God, but then it will be too late. God says in the Qur'an that on the day of account, everybody will think and see the truth:

That day Hell is produced, that day man will remember; but how will the remembrance help him?
He will say, "Oh! If only I had prepared in advance for this life of mine!" (Quran)


Did you suppose that We created you for amusement and that you would not return to Us? (Quran)

While God has given us a chance in the life of this world to reflect and derive conclusions from our reflections, to see the truth will bring us great gain in our life in the hereafter. For this reason, God has summoned all people, through His prophets and books, to reflect on their creation and on the creation of the universe:

Have they not reflected within themselves? God did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them except with truth and for a fixed term. Yet many people reject the meeting with their Lord. (Quran)

Answer 1

Yes. God created us in his image.

By saying image I mean that we are able to THINK rational. We are able to calculate, reason, make evaluations, COME UP WITH INVENTIONS. We can come up with many technologies that is really amazing. Computers cannot stand side by side with the human brain, because the human brain is infinitely more powerful in comparison and able to retrieve, memorize, come up with thoughts and act upon those thoughts.

This is why we can continue to learn and never load, unless we overstudy without any period for breaks. Other than that all the worlds knowledge can be stored in the human brain.

The problem is, we think we can use only 10%

Answer 2

Every living creature from the tiniest to smallest to largest of His creation is endowed with a certain faculty to think to survive the place which nature has given each.
Man can be the luckiest to be endowed with much greater faculties to think among other creatures that were created. It was not given however, to feel superior over all of those with less capability to think but the dominion is to take charge of all that needs attention in order to maintain a balanced and harmoniuos life in the world.
You also should put your words in other section because, you did not make a question to receive an answer but you have written to make a sermon.

Answer 3

Yes. I think that I can think.
