Is the path taken by Al-Razi in proving the sending of messengers—the gist of which is that the denier of the sending of messengers either says that God did not command or forbid His creation, or says that He did command and forbid them, and that the former is false because it necessitates the permissibility of all abominations, while the latter necessitates the existence of a conveyer, a legislator, and an explainer, who is the Messenger—a sound path?

The aforementioned deduction is sound and acceptable to reason and logic because it refutes the opponent's argument and obliges them to accept the conclusion. Compelling an opponent with a rational, logical argument is frequently found in the texts of revelation, such as His (Allah's) saying: "Is then He Who creates like one who does not create? Will you not then take heed?" (Qur'an 16:17), and His saying: "Had there been therein gods besides Allah, then verily both would have been ruined" (Qur'an 21:22), and His saying: "Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any god. [If there had been], then each god would have taken what he created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe" (Qur'an 23:91). Anyone who applies their sound intellect and frees themselves from whims and blind imitation will affirm these examples.
