[quote]Assalam o Alaikum,

I think we both are saying same thing just the words are little bit different. About the prayer u have said that If I need some excercise I will work out a little bit but what ALLAH wants is that everybody do it because most of us even don't know that what they need. What you said that Prophet (peace be upon him) also didn't knew some reasons that is a different debatable issue and i think i should not start that here.

You have said that "Allah commands to do is not arbitrary. It has a purpose. But as far as I was taught so far, we cannot claim we know why" that is same what i was saying that everything has a logic behind it, its just that sometime we don't know the logic and that doesn't mean that there is no logic.

As far as the topic is concerned that whether we should try to find the logic or not... for that i think following verses of Qura'n should be read which not only allow the logical thinking but also encourages those :

1. None will grasp the message but men of intellect? (2:269)

2. Most certainly the worst of animals in Allah’s sight are the deaf, the dumb who do  not use their brains. (8:22)

3. Behold in the creation of the heavens and the alteration of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of intellect.    (3:190)

I think these verses clearly encourages one to THINK and not just accept as it is whatever told to him.
