The necessity of people to
Allah, the Almighty, and their entire lack of His assistance in
hardships and their need of Him for granting them elevation,
sublimity and perfection as well as their need of Him to be fair
and lenient and a guiding hand to them in addition to the necessity
of organizing their instincts in an overall law, necessitated the
emergence of someone amongst themselves who is qualified to achieve
all that to people. This could not have been achieved without the
role that had been played by messengers, prophets and the heavenly
messages, given that the state of perfection necessitates
originally the existence of a developing "divine law" or a divine
legislative deed to keep to people their normal march towards the
desired perfection. Since ascension to perfection is
sometimes "unilateral" that is, on the level of the individual and
at other times "unanimous" that is on the level of society, the
latter demands enough periods of time to change a society because
this change which I mean: the gradual change towards perfection and
this should by necessity be listed in the category of judgments and
for this reason Islam has been the last ring in the chain of
religion and the last of stage of ranging in it and the ring which
covers time and place completely counter to the other religions
which are restricted to their temporal time only and perhaps the
limited geographic horizon.
