Answer 6

Reason and common sense also comes from God.

You think people just "come up" with reason and common sense? If it were always "common sense" to not touch a hot stove, why did the infant touch it anyways? Someone has to set the boundries to develope common sense. It doesnt' just happen.

Answer 7

Just look at Maula-e-Kainat's (as) words! Nothing more of guidance will u ever want if u read Qur'an and Nahjul Balagha by Heart!

Imam Ali (as) wrote to Salman al Farsi (ra) : To continue, surely, the likeness of this world is that of a snake: it is soft to touch, and deadly poisonous. The ignorant child is distracted by it, and the one with understanding and intellect is cautious of it. So turn away from what fascinates you in it, for how little of it stays with you.

There are four things that make the heart die: wrong action followed by wrong action, playing around with foolish people, spending a lot of time with women, and sitting with the dead. Then they asked Imam Ali: 'And who are the dead, O Commander of the believers?' He replied: 'Every slave who follows his desires.'
