Even a clearer example...
Even a clearer example: Life’s issues can be divided into three groups, ‘intelligent’, ‘unintelligent’ and ‘unknown’. The prophets never say anything which was ‘unintelligent’, that is, something against the intellect or wisdom and if they do, they are not prophets, rather, they help us in the understanding of unknowns and this is very important for us.
Thus, those in the past who said that if a person has intelligence, he does not need a prophet or like those who today say that with all of the knowledge that the human being has today, there is no need for prophets and their teachings, have not understood the realms of the intelligence and knowledge of the human being, nor the mission of the prophets.
This is just like a child who has studied the ABCs in the first grade and then says, “I know everything and so I have no need of a teacher.” Are these not baseless words? The prophets are not just teachers, either; the story of their leadership is something which needs to be discussed separately, which we will do in later lessons. 2. No one says that a human being should place themselves completely at the disposal of another person.
The point is that the prophets — as we will later prove — are related to divine revelation, that is, with the endless knowledge of God, and we must, by means of certain and sure reasons, know their relation to God. It is only then that the words of these heavenly messages can be accepted and we accept their reckoned teachings with all of our hearts and being. If I follow the prescriptions of an expert physician, have I erred? The prophets are great doctors of the spirit.
If I accept the lessons of a teacher which are coordinated with the intellect, have I done something wrong? The prophets are the great teachers of humanity. More important than this is that we carefully study the reason for the necessity of God sending the prophets to us. Meanwhile, the followings are some of the reasons why we need the guidance of the Prophets from God: 1.
The Need of Teachings If we ride upon a fantastic and fairytale-like horse which is built of rays of light and in every second we travel 300,000 kilometres in the shoreless space, doubtlessly we will need to have thousands of lifetimes of Noah just to see a small part of this extensive universe.
