But still we find that people greatly differ in their judgment about good and bad things. For instance, many people appreciate nudity, drinking alcohol, gambling and many other such acts which are regarded by others as heinous crimes. Moreover, human brain has certain limits beyond which it can not perceive. We can know by scientific explorations what is happening on Moon, Mars, and in all other planets.
But we can never know by any sophisticated technology the facts of grave and burzakh, and the events that will occur in the hereafter. For all such information, we need a prophet who has direct communication with Allah(swt), The Lord of the Universe. Thus, undoubtedly men are intelligent beings but they cer tainly need the help of prophets in almost every field of knowledge.
We can see today that world's top scientists are doing grave mistakes just because they do not follow the teachings of the Holy prophets. There is no dispute today that scientific and technological advancement has become a threat to mankind. Thus, human intellect is not sufficient to discover all the realities of the universe. The tr ue religion teaches us all those things which no one can discover by his effor ts.
It is true that there are many different religions with different teachings and none of them are true except one. The true religion can be discovered by everyone after research. For instance, in market we know both pure and impure, real and ar tificial, good and defective things are sold by the people. Everyone claims that he has the pure, real and good things which is not always correct. What do we usually do in all such cases ?
Do we stop buying things because many are selling impure or defective things and everyone is claiming that he alone has the best and pure things ? Not at all. We make all possible efforts to find the shop which is selling the right things. Similarly if one realizes the impor tance of religion, he or she can identify the true religion after research and studies. The third argument is also grossly wrong. We spend a lot of time in eating, sleeping, resting, playing and socializing with people.
The consumption of time and energy in all these natural functions is quite high. But we never complain that these acts (sleeping, eating and meetings) are wasting a lot of our time and energy and therefore we should stop them in order to progress in science and technology.
