The One Who Makes His Signs Clear
In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that
hopefully you will use your intellect. (Surat al-Baqara, 2:242)
Given that Allah has explained, through His Messengers and
His revelation why we were created, what we have to accomplish,
and what we will go through after death, we cannot claim ignorance
of these facts. If He had not done so, we would exist in a state of
helplessness, feebleness, and fear. But Allah, Who is compassionate
and merciful toward His servants, answers all of our questions
through His revelations. In this way, He brings people to life.
Indeed, the calls, warnings, recommendations, and prohibitions re-
vealed by Him, as well as the issues to which He draws people’s at-
tention, are for our salvation and will enable us to give a joyful
account in Allah’s presence on the Day of Judgment.
Almighty Allah, Who doesn't want any injustice for His ser-
vants, gives a detailed account of how they can avoid eternal pun-
ishment and all they need to know to serve Him. In addition, He
gives them examples of earlier peoples so that they will not repeat
their ancestors’ mistakes, and tells them about the Prophets so that
they can find the right path. Indeed, people could never learn about
such events and conversations on their own. For instance, no one
witnessed Prophet Musa’s (as) conversation with Allah in the valley
of Tuwa, and there is no record of it. But Allah lets us know some de-
tails of this conversation. Thus, His words to Prophet Musa (as),
even though they were spoken before no one else and were uttered
centuries ago, are conveyed to everyone word by word.
