2. How Prophets Shaped Societies by Creator’s Instructions for better Survival and Human Reproduction?
2.1. Primary Education:
As we discussed before about creation of humans and their reproduction growth from a pair (couple), how their weak physiques create dependencies and their growth on earth brought many social challenges along religion conflicts.
According to Quran, All Prophets (from Adam to Muhammad ﷺ) were mainly focused on Tawhid (belief and Worship one Creator) for unity and avoid divisions, and educating social ethics and securing humans reproduction cycle, from The Creator’s Divine Guidance with truth and justice.
After Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, their followers make, the Holy book Quran, a main source of guidance with truth in Islam for resolving the social challenges.
Let see through Quran, how Prophets follow Creator’s instructions, individually and socially.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: “Whoever guarantees me what is between his jaws (kind & true use of tongue) and what is between his legs (lawful use of private parts), I guarantee him Paradise.” Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Riqaq, Hadith 6474
They also taught, kindness is a superpower, because all the humans borns with empty minds, they live and die while learning. Making mistakes is the part of learning, that’s why speaking truth with the kindness is the purest way to guide everyone.
- “He who is deprived of kindness is deprived of all goodness.” Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Birr wa al-Silah, Hadith 2592
They make people aware of truth by inviting them to observe the signs in nature for right guidance. While inviting, some Prophets migrated with their followers to save faith and lives. Establish Just Social System and Protect the innocents from Injustice.
2.2. Two factors for Humans’ Reproduction cycles:
Since human newborns require long-term care. Prophets emphasized the importance of family for the protection and development of new generations, they guided people toward:
1. Family Factor
- Lawful sexual relationships (marriage) to ensure stable family system, protection of family rights for generational safety and continuity.
- Clear definition of roles and responsibilities within the family, including biologically based roles and duties.
- A supportive environment that promotes the physical, emotional, and mental development of children.
| “Do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse.” — Al-Isrāʾ (17:32)
| “Men are protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given one more strength than the other, and because they support them from their wealth.” Surah An-Nisā’ (4:34)
| “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is All-Aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not to display their adornment except what normally appears of it, and to draw their headcovers over their chests, and not to display their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, those their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of women’s private aspects. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.” An-Nur (24:30-31)
2. Social Factor
To maintain social order and protect individual dignity and mental well-being, Prophets regulated public behavior by:
- Adjusting dress standards by limiting body shape exposure and skin-revealing clothing to reduce unwanted sexual attraction, encouraging modest clothing (parda) to protect identity and promote privacy in public places.
- Promoting respectful gender interaction to ensure a balanced and safe society, by providing a clear definition of roles and responsibilities, including biologically based roles and duties.
- Discouraging inappropriate or shameless speech and behavior in public spaces.
| “O children of Adam! We have sent down to you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness—that is best. That is from the signs of Allah, so that they may remember.” Al-A‘raf (7:26)
A example for how genders duties works naturally:
Biology shapes human roles: if a five-year-old boy and girl stand near a 3-kg stone, society instinctively expects the boy to lift it based on physical design. This childhood division grows into distinct adult experiences, for example, a man working in a wheat field gains the practical problem-solving skills, which helps him alot in leadership in the field, while women are shielded from such tasks and perform the tasks according to their biology.That’s why, Forcing the identical duties ignores these natural differences, leading to long-term social imbalance, because human desires cannot override biological reality.
That’s why men are responsible according to their biological ways and women as well according to their biology, for duties.
2.3. How Freedom is a Individual’s Responsibility:
| “You are the best nation produced for mankind: you enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in Allah.”- Āl-‘Imrān 3:110
In Islam, Each human is a role model for others; his good and bad actions affect and influence others’ actions too.
As Life is a designed test for everyone, to record their good & bad choices and their efforts — how they learn from truth, practice it, and share it to the others, Whether they are muslims or non-muslims. And everything will be judged in the afterlife.
For Example: If a person lives his life with any kind of distorted belief and learned false guidances due to that’s belief, for which, he is not internally satisfied. But still he lived with this and build a chain by teaching or supporting others (his family, friends etc) in that false faith.
And till his death he didn’t break the false chain by accepting or leaving his wrongdoings, which made him a solid cause of some false action’s continuity even after his death.
2.4. Social ethics & laws:
About communication ethics, kindness for teaching, and prohibiting intoxicants and harmful activities. Safeguarding life, dignity, health, Wealth by educating and punishing with truth and justice, etc.
| “Satan only wants to sow enmity and hatred among you through intoxicants and gambling and to prevent you from the remembrance of Allah and prayer. Will you then desist?” — Al-Mā’idah 5:91
2.5. Financial laws:
For fair trades, restricted unjust/untraceable activities (Interest, Fraud, etc.), and restricted the transactions which create conflicts and injustice (gambling, bets, etc.) and promoted charity (for poverty reduction), economic ethics, etc.
| “Do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly…” — Al-Baqarah 2:188
These all messages and laws (from Creator) were compiled in holy books of different religions like Christians, Jews etc. And in the last, culminating these all in the last holy book – Quran as the final guide for all humanity.
