It might be translated that we should have only one ultimate goal in our life - becoming God-like by reflecting all His beautiful names - and clearly it requires perfectionism. Hence, during his spiritual evolution, man as a two-dimensional being should make a journey from the basest material, mud, approaching the most High, God. In other words, God has invited him to pass through an important reference point, salvation.

Thus, we can imagine that he has two distinct selves in his life: an arrogant, selfish mud-like self (when the real love is not the dominant factor); and a God-like, selfless philanthropic self. Clearly, each specific self requires a certain and separate corresponding rationality. The rationality corresponding with the mud-self creates a special utility function fully different from the utility function which comes from the divine-self.

When a household as an economic unit, evolves from selfishness and being mud-like to salvation and being God-like, the inferior rationality will not be effective at all and will collapse instantaneously and the superior rationality creates a special dynamism more powerful for economic performance. The driving force of this rationality is still self-interest, but a quite high-level one rooted in being God-like.

Besides, this rationality is highly exalted, nature friendly, and fully compatible with sustainable development. On the other hand, due to self-interest maximization in an immature person who fails to feel love and has not yet obtained salvation, we may observe alienation, isolation and hostility.

I would like to refer to one verse of the Quran, which clearly argues that the individual desires derived from a low-level self-interest lead to harm and corruption: “Corruption doth appear on land and sea because of which men's hands have done, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return.” We may deduce that this corruption is only a part of the consequences of what man has done as a result of his selfishness, and that there might be many other bad consequences washed clean by God’s forgiveness.

In other words, the invisible hand in an immature society not only is not able to optimize social benefits, but also it creates a great deal of harm and corruption that surpasses our imaginations. However, most of this corruption will be removed by God’s wisdom. The remaining corruption serves to warn the people and deter them from being selfish.
