Impossibilities of the intellect vs. perplexities of the intellect
0:13
A distinction must be made between that which the intellect knows to be false and impossible,
0:19
and that which the intellect is incapable of conceiving and comprehending.
0:23
The former belongs to the impossibilities of the intellect,
0:26
meaning that which the intellect deems impossible to occur.
0:29
The latter belongs to the perplexities of the intellect,
0:33
meaning that in whose comprehension the intellect is left bewildered.
0:37
Thus, revelation and the messengers may give news of unseen matters
0:41
in whose comprehension intellects are left bewildered,
0:44
such as the affairs of the Last Day, Paradise, Hellfire,
0:47
the punishment of the grave, and so forth.
0:51

0:54

0:58
and those of corrupt intellects.
