Mwenyezi Mungu Muumbaji hakuumba tu uumbaji, bali anaendelea kuutunza na kuuongoza, kwa namna alivyotuumba sisi na kila kilichotuzunguka. Ametoa aina nyingi za muongozo, naam, mfumo wa kanuni za kuongoza, ambao sheria za 'maumbile' ni sehemu yake.

Allah the Creator has not only brought about the creation, but continues to sustain and direct it, in the way that He has created us and all that is around us. He has provided many forms of guidance, indeed, a system of guiding principles, of which the laws of 'nature' are a part.

Lakini Mwenyezi Mungu pia amewapa wanadamu aina maalum ya uongofu tangu mwanzo wa kukaa kwao duniani. Aliahidi kwa Adamu na wazao wake: 'Shukeni nyote kutoka hapa; na ikiwa, kama ni hakika, utawajia uongofu kutoka Kwangu, basi yeyote atakayefuata uongofu, hao hawatakuwa na khofu, wala hawatahuzunika' ().' [Neno linalotumika hapa kwa uongofu ni hudan.] Uongofu huu unakuja kupitia manabii, ambao Mwenyezi Mungu aliwatuma kwa wanadamu mfululizo, hadi mtume wa mwisho, Muhammad ﷺ, akapokea uongofu Wake wa mwisho.
