We have already replied to an
important question about religion which usually comes to one's
mind as to whether religion is "one" or "multiple"?! after having
confirmed it by mental causes, instinctive motifs and man's
internal factors the necessity of the existence of "god" in the
conscience, intellect and thought of every man and rather the
necessity of having this god been "Allah" to whom be ascribed all
glory and perfection.
And after having proved the need
of man to be associated to a great unknown power by way of what
is called "religion" and proved as well, that this power is none
but Allah, (Glory be to Him) and the necessity of Allah's
manifesting Himself before the whole of His Creation through the
wholesome of His existence and translating all that to them
through His ambassadors (envoys) Whom He appointed and called as
"prophets" and whose messages have been the "post office" to His
creation.
Despite the fact that man is an
"animate" and "sociable" creature by nature and that he is Whom
Allah has favored above all the creatures by bestowing upon him a
mentality ready to gain and pursue knowledge to keep contact with
man's internal prophesy which is represented by the
"mind."
But the full recognition of
"creator-creation's" equilibrium and the concept of "creation"
and "creativity" as coming out of vacuum is impossible for this
creature to achieve because his whole
knowledge is mostly based on what his natural senses dictate on
him which are, in fact, short of realizing the full length of
truth particularly, the absolute truth which manifests itself in
the very omnipotence of Allah to whom be ascribed all glory and
perfection and who can imagine that there is something lacking
(far be it from Him) in His creation and perhaps this same
creature minimizes the magnanimity of Allah (Glory be to Him)
according to the shallow standard and limited extent of his
recognition, being associated with the shortcomings of his senses
in addition to the limited power of the human mind which in need
of a guiding hand that would lead him to the path of instruction
and guidance towards the means of happiness which would push him
towards all kinds of perfection.
Demand for reforming human
conditions has necessitated the bringing of prophets- that is,
those who were chosen by Allah – and were endowed with apparent
prophet-hood and have made them mediators between him and the
whole as far as preaching, warning and guiding them; therefore,
prophets were in charge of guiding people, bringing them closer
to Allah through preaching them as trustworthy accesses to His
Almighty.
