2. How Prophets Shaped Societies by Creator’s Instructions for better Survival and Human Reproduction?

The creation design of humans is a key point in understanding Islam and purpose of life (is test/trail for judgment); the Quran explains the two unique aspects of human creation (a weak body and the power of speech) and their reproduction through a pair. It is understandable how their weak bodies create dependencies on others and tools (such as wearing clothes, building civilizations, and trading), and how their power of speech helps them learn and share for better survival. As they spread across the earth, they divided into tribes and nations, learned multiple languages, and faced social challenges alongside religious conflicts and divisions.
To address these matters, the Creator sent guidance (revelation) through angels to chosen people (Prophets) in many nations to show them the right path. These messages and laws were compiled in holy books within different religions, such as Christianity and Judaism. Ultimately, these were culminated in the last holy book—the Quran—as the complete guidance for all humanity.

• | “O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another…” Al-Hujurat (49:13)
• | “And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors…” Ar-Rum (30:22)
• | “Mankind was [of] one religion [community]. And Allah sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Book in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed…” Al-Baqarah (2:213)
• | “Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Book did not differ except after knowledge had come to them — out of jealousy and animosity between themselves……” Aal-‘Imran (3:19)

Islam teaches humans diversification over divisions. like many branches of a tree

2.1. Primary Education:

According to the Quran, all Prophets (from Adam to Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ) primarily focused on Tawhid (belief in one Creator and the Day of Judgment) for unity and self-accountability. This was intended to avoid divisions and false guidance based on distorted beliefs. Additionally, they educated people on securing the human reproduction cycle and social ethics based on Divine Guidance with truth and justice.

Faith:

Rather than engaging in debates to prove the existence of the Creator, they taught that the Creator’s presence remains unseen during this trial, meaning social life is not directly controlled by force or fear. Belief in the one Creator is achieved by observing His signs in nature.
Furthermore, the Creator has already placed true belief within human hearts and a sense of good and bad for self-judgment.

• | “Say, ‘He is Allah, The One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.’” Al-Ikhlas (112)
• | “And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided…” Aal-e-Imran (3:103)
• | “O you who believe! Avoid much assumptions. Indeed, some assumptions are sin….” Al-Hujurat (49:12)
• | “And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge….” Al-Isra (17:36)
• | En zij vragen jou over de Geest (ar-Rūḥ). Zeg: “De Geest is van de zaak van mijn Heer. En aan de mensen is slechts weinig kennis gegeven.”
• | “En als alle bomen op de aarde pennen waren en de zee inkt, met nog zeven zeeën erbij, dan zouden de woorden van Allah niet uitgeput raken. Voorwaar, Allah is Almachtig, Alwijs.”
• | “Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers. And in your own creation, and whatever living beings He dispersed, are signs for people of sure faith.” Al-Jathiya (45:3–4)

They made people aware of the truth by inviting them to observe the signs in nature for right guidance. In doing so, some Prophets migrated with their followers to save their faith and lives, establishing just social systems and protecting the innocent from injustice.
After Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, his followers looked to the Holy Quran as the main source of guidance in Islam for resolving social challenges

Let see through, 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

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. To reduce the risk of children being left without support, they guided people toward:

1. Family Factor

• Lawful sexual relationships (marriage) and lawful breakups (divorce) in simple and easy ways, to ensure a stable reproduction system, protection of family rights for generational safety and continuity.
• Family is a supportive environment that promotes the physical, emotional, and mental development of children.
• Guidance for Genders interactions in a family systems. Clear definition of roles and responsibilities within the family, including biologically based roles and duties.

| “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, the 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) for females, 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.
• Restricting homosexual acts for safety of reproduction cycles. Like we know how Qaum-e-Loot (The People of Lot) were punished for this act.
• Discouraging inappropriate or shameless speech and behavior in public spaces, which could trigger others minds toward wrongdoings.

| “Do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse.” — Al-Isrāʾ (17:32)

| “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:

“Jullie zijn het beste volk dat voor de mensheid is voortgebracht: jullie gebieden wat goed is en verbieden wat slecht is en geloven in Allah.” Āl-‘Imrān 3:110

In Islam, Each human is a role model for others; his good and bad actions affects and influence others’ actions too.
Life on earth is a designed test (a trail before eternal life) for everyone, to record their good & bad choices and their efforts. Like how everyone learn from truth, practice it, and share it to the others, Whether they are muslims or non-muslims.

So everyone, who did good or bad to others, can be judged in the afterlife for punish and reward. Identical lifes with memories are the clear sign for the Day of Judgment.

For Example: If a person lives with a wrong belief and follows its false guidance, even though they are not truly satisfied inside, they may still continue practicing it and teaching it to others. By doing this, they create a chain of false beliefs among family and friends.
If they never correct themselves before death, that chain may continue even after they are gone, and they remain a cause of those wrong actions.

That’s why In Islam, associating others with the One Creator (shirk) is the greatest sin, because it creates divisions then spreads false guidance, cause confusions and can mislead others as well.

| “Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him (shirk), but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills…” – An-Nisa (4:48)
| “O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except as Muslims.” – Aal-Imran (3:102)

| “Rechtschapenheid is niet dat jullie je gezichten naar het oosten of het westen wendt, maar ware rechtschapenheid is in degene die gelooft in Allah, de Laatste Dag, de Engelen, het Boek en de profeten; die rijkdom geeft ‘ondanks dat hij het liefheeft’ aan familieleden, wezen, de behoeftigen, de reiziger, degenen die erom vragen en voor het bevrijden van slaven; die het gebed instelt en zakāh geeft; die hun beloften nakomen wanneer zij die doen; en degenen die geduldig zijn in tegenspoed, lijden en tijdens de strijd. Zij zijn degenen die de waarheid spreken en zij zijn het die de rechtvaardigen zijn.” - Al-Baqarah 2:177

2.4. Social ethics & laws:

About communication ethics, As we know, all the humans borns with empty minds, they live and die while learning. So making mistakes is the part of learning, that’s why speaking truth with the kindness is the purest way to guide everyone. kindness is a superpower.

“He who is deprived of kindness is deprived of all goodness.” Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Birr wa al-Silah, Hadith 2592

After that, they did also prohibited intoxicants and harmful activities. Safeguarding life, dignity, health, Wealth by educating and punishing any wrongdoings with truth and justice.

| “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:

As financial activities performs the major part in humans social life. So for fair trades, Islam restricted unjust/untraceable activities (Interest, Fraud, etc.), and restricted the transactions which create conflicts and injustice (gambling, bets, etc.) for social peace and safety. And promoted charity (for poverty reduction), teaches economic ethics, etc.

| “Do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly…” — Al-Baqarah 2:188
