Thinking after Writing?...!

Once I read somewhere while surfing the internet. There was a guy who gave his book to his colleague who belongs to a religious party. The guy told him that the author has changed his opinion related to some issues. His colleague immediately asked, “Does this author write without thinking?”. When I read all this I said, “The author is one of those people who continue to think after writing.” This mentality is a rare commodity in our society. It was an amazing fact for that religious person that a scholar can leave his previous opinion for a better one. 


It is a fact that intellect and wisdom is the greatest blessing of Allah. A person can differentiate between right and wrong paths by using his / her intellect. Quran invites human beings to think again and again. It is possible that a person may conclude something wrong due to lack of information or a mistake in his / her thinking process. In that case, if that person stops thinking further, then what will happen? 

Only the messengers and prophets of the Almighty know the absolute truth. Religious scholars are supposed to understand the message of God and His prophets. If they know that their previous understanding is not correct, they must change their opinion. It is an obligation imposed by their Lord.
