Introduction

Human behavior is influenced by a set of fundamental beliefs and ideas to which a person attests.These beliefs can be derived from experience and individual reflection, external sources such as one's family and community or based on the divine teachings of prophets. Normally, a person's ideology is based on a relative coherence and unity of their beliefs which results in a set of aligned ideas and values that constitute his doctrinal system. The extent to which these principles lead to truth and salvation, the more they will be a light for the guidance and development of the individual. A person can assess the coherence and veracity of their belief system or the teachings of various religions by two powerful tools: reason and innate nature (fitrah). The intellect and innate nature can verify the doctrines of a religion only when it has been conveyed accurately and comprehensively. If a person does not have sufficient awareness of its doctrines or concepts have been mistakenly attributed to the religion, then his judgments will be equally incorrect.
