and is forced to consider his likes as good and his dislikes as evil; as they have said: «حُبُّ الشَّيْءِ يُعْمِي وَيُصِمُّ»; “Your love for a thing causes blindness and deafness”; in the sense that loving a thing before knowing it affects knowing it and leads to not knowing its evil; as hating a thing before knowing it affects knowing it and leads to not knowing its goodness. Therefore, loving or hating a thing is not rational before knowing it, but rather it is rational after knowing it; because loving a thing is based on its goodness, and hating a thing is based on its evil, and goodness and evil are two realities outside the human being’s self that are not subject to his inner feelings. In addition, his inner feelings not only do not correlate with reality but are multiplied by the number of people, and this creates nothing but contradictions that lead to corruption; as God Almighty has said: ﴿وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ[1]; “And if the truth had followed their desires, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been corrupted.” Therefore, the desires of the human being must be subject to his cognition, and his cognition must not be subject to his desires; because if his cognition is subject to his desires, he may not like the truth and consider it as falsehood; as God Almighty has said: ﴿أَفَكُلَّمَا جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لَا تَهْوَى أَنْفُسُكُمُ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ فَفَرِيقًا كَذَّبْتُمْ وَفَرِيقًا تَقْتُلُونَ[2]; “Is it that whenever a Messenger came to you with what your selves did not like, you grew arrogant, so you denied some of them and killed some of them?!” and said: ﴿لَقَدْ جِئْنَاكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَارِهُونَ[3]; “Indeed, We have brought you the truth, but most of you hate the truth!” Rather, the human being’s hatred of the truth may be so intense that sometimes he would rather die than accept it; like those about whom God Almighty has said: ﴿وَإِذْ قَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا هُوَ الْحَقَّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَأَمْطِرْ عَلَيْنَا حِجَارَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَوِ ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ[4]; “And when they said: ‘O God! If this is indeed the truth from You, then rain down stones upon us from the sky or give us a painful punishment!’”
