Salam Alaykum, In connection with the previous question, it is said that when we elevate the discussion to a topic as important as the "Existence of God", we must acknowledge that one cannot have certainty about anything (especially those things belonging to the extra-mental category) at all - that is, even the building blocks upon which Islam has traditionally constructed its theological arguments are not universally accepted, so how can we Muslims expect wide acceptance of our proofs and evidences. How would we normally answer this objection? Wa Salam

Salam Alaykum,
A question I wish to discuss and eventually place on my site Insha Allah:
In many discussions, it is mentioned that when we Muslims emphasize the ‘reality’ in our discussions with non-Muslims, we are showing a total disdain for different minds to perceive things in different ways. As an explanation, what we are pushing through in any discussion is a ‘Mantiq-based reality’, yet there is a difference between different people perceiving the reality, in that some may want to emphasize the ‘reality’ (objectivity), but others wish to emphasize the ‘perception’ (subjectivity) - the objection then is, why should eternal salvation or damnation be tied to (objective) "reality"?
Wa Salam.
