Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books All Solutions are with the Prophet’s Progeny Modern man and the lenient religion There is no doubt that the goals of the divine religions are firstly to make man know his Creator and keep him away from idolatry and all kinds of polytheism and deviation. Secondly, it is to manage his life socially, economically and politically. These goals can be summarized into two things: faith and action.

We mean true faith and good deeds, because not every faith or every deed can be accepted by Allah the Almighty. Man may believe in doctrines that contradict Islam and what Allah has revealed to His Prophet (S). Or he may reject a belief inherited from ancestors - that even if it is right, it can be changed and replaced.

Allah the Almighty says: And when it is said to them: Believe in what Allah has revealed, they say: We believe in that which was revealed to us, and they deny what is besides that, while it is the truth verifying that which they have . Qur'an, 2:91 Man may do many things that he thinks are for the welfare of humanity, whereas they cause harms and damages. Allah the Almighty says: And when it is said to them: Do not make mischief in the land, they say: We are but peacemakers.

Surely, they themselves are the mischief makers, but they do not perceive . Qur'an, 2:11-12 Man may do great deeds that are very useful to mankind, but if he does not intend the contentment of Allah, he is just seeking fame and prominence, and so his deeds are: … like the mirage in a desert, which a thirsty man thinks to be water; until when he comes to it, he finds it to be nought . Allah says: And We will proceed to what they have done of deeds, so We shall render them as scattered motes.

Qur'an, 25:23 Religion is the landmark, by which man is guided and exalted. Wherever man is living, religion is found there too since the beginning of humanity. Excavations and scientific studies have proven that primitive man did not know many things until after several ages, but he did know about temples since the beginning of his time. Thus, we can certainly say that civilization is the extract of the divine religions.

Since it is so, then Islam that has been revealed to the (S) is the most advanced civilization, and humanity cannot overlook or precede it.
