This is because man's recognition of Allah the Exalted and his being connected to Him entail recognition of truth, good and peace, and building life and organizing it under the guidance of those clear and luminous principles. This enables man to cleave to the road of safety in reaching Allah, and insures his fate on the day of returning to the world of eternity and lasting existance. 2.

He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and He will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear..."
