It is possible to surmise that laws are a precious treasure that has been discovered by human beings. Furthermore, it is probable that from the early days of organizing their society human beings have had access to laws and have always respected them for their own good. (2) A human being has been innately endowed with the capacity to perfect himself and attain prosperity. In his ongoing struggle, a human being has no other purpose than to become truly perfect.

All his endeavours are geared towards attaining that lofty goal of perfection. (3) Since a human being is on his way to perfection, attention to the true meaning of perfection has been made part of his natural disposition. Hence, it should be possible for him to attain it, because God does not create anything in futility. (4) The point that a human being is made of body and spirit is well established.

He is material through his body; whereas his spirit, although intimately connected with his body is regarded as belonging to the world of incorporeal beings. (5) Since the human being is made of two elements, namely, body and spirit, he is bound to have two kinds of life: this worldly life, related to his body; and the spiritual and contemplative life, related to his soul. Consequently, in relation to each one of them, he will have a life of prosperity and damnation.

(6) Just as between body and spirit there is connection and relationship, with ensuing unity, so is there a perfect connection and relationship between the material and spiritual life. In other words, the quality of life in this world has a direct impact on spiritual life. Likewise, psychic conditions and other spiritual characteristics have an impact on the way human acts surface. (7) A human being is on the way to perfection and is attentive to the requirements of innate and natural perfection.

Moreover, God has not created life without a purpose. It is incumbent upon God to provide the means to attain the goal and to acquire the perfection intended for humanity so that it is able to distinguish and pursue the path that leads to the attainment of prosperity and avoid that which leads to sinful deviation. (8) By nature a human being is self-centred and pursues his own interests. He is not interested in any other thing than serving his own good and interests.

In fact, he endeavours to exploit fellow human beings and take advantage of their endeavours to serve his ends.
