What does the Holy Quran says about Reason and Logic?
The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

The mind is the most superior property of man because the trusts of Allah are accepted thanks to the mind and man can reach the pleasure of Allah thanks to it. The source and root of the science is the mind. The science is to the mind as the fruit is to the tree, the light is to the sun and sight is to the eye. What distinguishes man from the other living or non-living beings in the universe and makes him superior is the mind. 

The expressions in the Quran that lead man to reason and to think like “Think!”, “Will ye not then understand?”, “Do they not ponder?”, “Look!”, “do they not look?”, “Take warning then, O ye with eyes (to see)!” show the importance given to the mind.

Badiuzzaman Said Nursi defines the mind as the purest distilled essence of  consciousness, the most precious device of man, a luminous substance, a key that reveals the secrets in the nature, a divine guide that prepares man for the bliss of the eternal life, a wise gift that shows man high aims and permanent fruits and a substance utterly remote from matter in essence but related to the matter in practice.

How can a religion that gives so much importance to the mind be away from reason and logic?
