Islam: The True Path-Only Allah has all the answers

t is only the Creator, Allah, who has total knowledge of man and his nature. Since man’s created value system cannot, with confidence, be claimed to be totally in accordance with his own nature, it cannot be the perfect system which could be followed completely without giving rise to situations of conflict between that man-made value system and human nature. Man has often tried to create a perfect value system to suit his own nature, and every time such an effort ended up in utter failure. Thus he has always been in dire need of a value system which is perfect in itself and which is also in accordance with his nature.

The basic need and desire of man to discover a perfect value system for himself has always been fulfilled by man’s Creator, as He knows perfectly that man himself would not be able to solve his problems on his own. He, therefore, sent His prophets from time to time for the rightful guidance of man. To send prophets and Messengers for the guidance of man was in itself meant to help man to fulfil his natural desire to have a religion and a belief system for his life. Divine Guidance for man began right from the creation of the first man, Adam, who was also the first prophet of Allah.
