 On one hand, he says,
a person who is not guided by reason will misunderstand the revelation while on the
other hand a rationalist may exceed the limits leading to rejection of the plain meaning of
revelation.The right course, he says, is to reconcile reason with revelation, one that puts reason at the service of understanding and then interprets the revelation.Reason, together
with the Revelation, is light upon light as mentioned in Quran chapter 24, verse 35.
