There is a common misperception that Islam is not compatible with the use of the intellect. In reality, intellectual search is an important part of many interpretations of Islam going back to the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny).

This is reflected in various institutions of learning developed by Muslims over the centuries, including under the leadership of the Ismaili Imamat.
The Ismaili presents Oh Allah, Oh Muhammad, performed by Fardin Faryad. The song’s verses, sung in Farsi, seek guidance from a higher power to help ease the burdens of modern life.
