AN IMPORTANT LESSON FOR ESTABLISHING SOCIAL ORDER Verses 36-40

      The moral precepts, and acts of directing, commanding, and prohibiting, as parts of Islamic wisdom are still continued here. The first verse (NO.36) implies:ِ

      ``Do not follow that which you know it not.'' In other word, follow things which you well, and you are sure of your knowledge about them, because the ear, the eye, and the mind are all responsible, and have to answer for what they do.

      The prohibition of doing things without knowledge, has a vast meaning, and many fields of applications; such as in personal and social affairs, judgement, testification without enough knowledge of matter, and etc. Knowledge and enough information is the best means of taking the right and correct decision in any matter. What can we reason but from what we know? In the sight our prophet, a man without knowledge is comparable to the one that is dead. Knowledge is power and as Rumi has composed in a famous verse:

      `` O, Brother! You are only what you know;

      And for the rest, you are but bone and flesh.''
