ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAH.

THOSE WHO DO NOT USE THEIR SENSES :

In view of the importance given to human senses and the mind, the Quran declares in the clearest terms that people who do not use their senses and their minds are not living their lives on a human level.

They are in fact living on an animalistic level and are admonished:
“Many among human beings have adopted a lifestyle that will lead them to hell. They have a mind but do not use it to think and reflect. They have eyes but do not see. They have ears but cannot hear. They are not human beings and are even worse than animals. They are neglectful.” (7/179)

This verse also indicates that knowledge is only that which can be explained by the senses and the mind.
Intangible, abstract matters have nothing to do with the senses.

Observation of natural phenomena and the study of the universe, experimentation to discover the laws of creation, maintenance, and workings of the components of the universe are the applications of sense-perception. In modern terminology this is called scientific knowledge.

As the Quran states, the pursuit of such knowledge is the duty of all believers.

WALLAHu'alam.
Assalamu'alaikum.
