Salam alaykum Shaykh,
I have few questions regarding the quiz in lesson 2 (I decided to compile them into one post otherwise there will be too much spam in people's inbox).
1. Regarding the following question 13. "The rationally necessary is that which:" where the answer is found to be "Logically must exist and logically could not not exist." is there supposed to be a single "not" at the end of the answer here? Assuming that to be the case, what is the difference between the rationally necessary and the rationally impossible?
2. Can a ruling be both morally necessary and rationally necessary? For example if one can arrive at rational ruling from reason alone and then the same ruling is given in the Qur'an is it then also morally necessary?
3. Regarding question 22. "Allah cannot be known. This means that", the answer to this questions is "We can’t understand His full reality, but we can say some things about what He is and what He isn’t." However, we are also given the option "We can only say about Allah what He has told us." Why is this option not also true? Similarly with question 23. "In Islamic theology, when we talk about Allah, we say" where the answer is "We say what is necessarily true about Allah, what would be absurd, and what is in principle possible." but why is the answer "Only what Allah say about Himself." not also correct?
Jazak Allahu Khayran
