Human beings are all endowed, albeit to different extents, with instincts and organic needs, which drive them to perform certain actions. For example, of the instincts, the sanctification instinct causes people to revere and worship, the survival instinct causes them to seek to increase their wealth and secure their lives, and the procreational instinct urges them to have sexual relationships with others. Similarly, among the organic needs, are the need to eat, drink, breathe etc.

Dole ne a biya dukkan ilhamomi da bukatun jiki. Idan ilhamomi ba su samu biyan buƙata ba, hakan zai kai ga wahala. Idan kuma bukatun jiki ba su samu biyan buƙata ba, hakan zai kai ga mutuwa. Amma idan aka bar mutane su yi yadda suke so, za su yi amfani da hankalinsu wajen jagorantar ayyukansu, kuma ta haka za su iya biyan ilhamominsu da bukatun jikinsu daidai yadda suke so. Sai dai hankalinsu yana da iyaka a iya aiki, yana iya yin kuskure, kuma yana fuskantar son kai da son zuciya. Idan ba a same su da shiriya ba, to biyan ilhamomi da bukatun jiki na iya faruwa ta hanyar da take cutar da wasu. Misali, ilhamar rayuwa na iya sa mutane su yaudari wasu su kuma sace musu dukiya don samun ƙarin arziki. Ilhamar haihuwa kuma na iya kai mutane ga aikata zina ko fasikanci. Waɗannan misalai ne kaɗan, amma damar samun matsaloli kusan ba ta da iyaka.

All of the instincts and organic needs must be fulfilled. If the instincts are not satisfied it will lead to misery. If the organic needs are not fulfilled, it will lead to death. However, if human beings are left to their own devices, they use their own minds to direct their actions and can thus fulfil their instincts and organic needs exactly as they please. But their minds are limited in ability, prone to error and subject to selfishness and prejudice. Without guidance, the satisfaction of the instincts and organic needs may be carried out in a way that is harmful to others. For instance, the survival instinct may drive individuals to cheat and steal from others in order to gain more wealth. The procreation instinct may lead people into committing adultery or fornication. These are just a couple of examples, but the scope for problems is almost limitless.

Irin wannan hali yana kai ga bala da cikakkiyar lalacewa a duniya. Muddin ba a daidaita sha'awace-sha'awace da mutane ke da su ta hanyar wasu ka'idoji ba, al'umma za ta ci gaba da fuskantar munanan abubuwa irin waɗanda muke gani a yau a kewayenmu, kamar cin zarafin yara a matsayin wani nau'in ibada; laifi da cin zarafin mutane don ƙara arziki; ko luwadi ko fyade a matsayin hanyar biyan buƙatar jima'i, da sauransu.

Such a state of affairs is a recipe for disaster and complete corruption on the earth. Unless the instincts of people are regulated by some kind of guidelines, the society will continue to be plagued by evils of the like we see around us today, such as ritual child abuse as a type of worship; crime and exploitation as a mean of increasing wealth; or homosexuality or rape as a means of fulfilling the sexual urge etc.

Ba tare da shiriya daga Mahaliccin ba, ɗan Adam ba shi da zaɓi face ya fāɗa cikin wannan matsala.

Without guidance from the Creator, mankind has no option but to fall into this predicament. Clearly then, there is a need for such guidance, to come as a way out for all the people, and thereby a need for messengers, to convey this guidance to mankind from the creator.

Hakika, an aiko manzanni zuwa ga mutane tun farkon tarihin ɗan Adam, suna ɗauke da wannan shiriya, suna kuma roƙon mutane da su gane yanayin wanzuwarsu, su fahimci hakikanin rayuwarsu da manufarta. Allah (SWT) ya ce,

Indeed, messengers have been sent to mankind since the beginning of human history, carrying this guidance and imploring people to recognise the nature of their existence and to understand the reality and purpose of their lives. Allah (swt) says,.

"Lalle ne Mun aika cikin kowace al'umma wani Manzo (yana cewa) 'Ku bauta wa Allah shi kadai, kuma ku nisanci shedan.'" [TMQ 16:36].

“And verily We have sent among every nation a Messenger (proclaiming) ‘Worship Allah alone, and avoid evil.’” [TMQ 16:36].

Wanda ya zo ƙarshe daga cikin waɗannan manzanni shi ne Annabi Muhammadu ﷺ, kuma tare da shiryarwarsa ne aka bayyana ba kawai gaskiyar wannan halitta ba, har ma da ƙa'idojin ɗabi'a ga ɗan Adam domin samun adalci da wadata a wannan rayuwa da kuma ta lahira.

The last of these messengers was Prophet Muhammad (saw) and with his guidance, came the clarification of not only the truth of this existence, but also the code of conduct for humanity to achieve justice and prosperity in both this life and the next.
