The Creator’s Divine Guidance in Quran:

As we discussed before, about the creation of humans in a pair form, and how their weak physiques create dependencies and their growth on earth brought religion conflicts, and why The Creator sent guidance by angels to chosen individuals (Prophets) to guide humans.

| “人类原本是一个宗教（一个共同体）。真主派遣先知们作为报喜者和警告者，并随他们降示了真理之经，以便就人们之间的分歧作出裁决……”《黄牛章》（2:213） Al-Baqarah (2:213)

1. What They taught about Faith? What is the purpose of right belief?

Every Prophet taught about the Tawhid (Worship one God for Unity), belief in one unseen Creator who created human beings and made this life a test (trial) for recording everyone’s actions. And after death, on the day of judgment, He will resurrect everyone for accountability, rewarding those who did good to others and punishing those who did wrong to others, leading to an unimaginable and eternal life in the Hereafter – with the supreme honor of meeting their Lord.

The Identical lives, death, memories and actions with aftereffects for other humans are the clear signs for the Resurrection.

Purpose of Right Belief:

  • Tawhid: Builds unity, equality, and peace in society. Prevents misgudances, divisions and injustice caused by false beliefs.
  • Fear of afterlife accountability: Creates self-accountability, even in private actions.
  • Hope of eternal reward in the afterlife promotes right actions and brings peace and justice in life.

That’s why Shirk (associates with One Creator) is unforgivable sin in Islam, it is main root of misguidance, divisions, long term instabilities in a society.
For Example – A man lives with wrongdoings, driven by wrong belief, and build a chain by influencing others by his words/action. Till his death he didn’t break that wrong chain by reflecting/accepting/declaring himself wrong, for other’s safies. As a result, their influence continues beyond their lifetime, becoming a source of ongoing misguidance for others.

They taught The Creator’s presence is unseen while the trial, so social life is not directly controlled by force or fear. Believe in the one Creator only by seeing his signs in nature. Also, the Creator has already placed the true belief in humans’ hearts and sense of true and false for self-judgment. Without engaging in such activities like proving the existence of Creator.

True Meaning of Worship?

True meaning of worship is – purifying thoughts, souls, and actions by praising One Creator for everything with patience and gratitude, while seeking forgiveness for own ignorance and mistakes with humility. In the same way as Quran described.

| “虔诚并非在于你们将面转向东方或西方，真正的虔诚在于：信奉真主、末日、天使、经典和先知的人；他们‘虽心爱财物’却将其施舍给亲属、孤儿、贫民、旅人、 求助者，并为赎买奴隶而施舍；坚持礼拜并缴纳天课；信守承诺；并在患难、痛苦和战斗中坚忍不拔。这些人才是诚实的人，他们才是义人。’—— 《黄牛章》2:177
