5.5 Elchilarga bo'lgan ehtiyoj
5.5 The Need for Messengers
Insonlarning barchasi, turli darajada bo'lsa-da, instinktlar va organik ehtiyojlar bilan yaratilgan bo'lib, bular ularni ma'lum harakatlarni bajarishga undaydi. Masalan, instinktlardan, muqaddaslash instinkti odamlarni e'zozlashga va ibodat qilishga, omon qolish instinkti ularni boyligini oshirishga va hayotini ta'minlashga intilishga, nasl qoldirish instinkti esa boshqalar bilan jinsiy munosabatda bo'lishga undaydi. Xuddi shuningdek, organik ehtiyojlar orasida ovqatlanish, suv ichish, nafas olish va boshqa ehtiyojlar bor.
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.
Barcha instinktlar va organik ehtiyojlar qondirilishi shart. Agar instinktlar qondirilmasa, bu azob-uqubatga olib keladi. Agar organik ehtiyojlar qondirilmasa, bu o'limga olib keladi. Lekin insonlar o'z holiga tashlab qo'yilsa, ular o'z aqllaridan foydalanib, harakatlarini yo'naltiradi va shu tariqa instinktlar hamda organik ehtiyojlarni o'zlari xohlagancha qondirishlari mumkin. Ammo ularning aqli cheklangan qobiliyatga ega, xatoga moyil va xudbinlik hamda noxolis fikrlarga bog'liq. Yo'l-yo'riqsiz, instinktlar va organik ehtiyojlarning qondirilishi boshqalarga zarar yetkazadigan tarzda amalga oshishi mumkin. Masalan, omon qolish instinkti kishilarni boylik orttirish uchun boshqalarni aldash va o'g'irlashga undashi mumkin. Naslni davom ettirish instinkti esa odamlarni zinoga yoki nikohsiz yaqinlikka olib borishi mumkin. Bular bir nechta misollar xolos, lekin muammolarga yo'l ochilgan sohalar deyarli chegarasizdir.
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.
Bunday holat yerda fasod va to‘liq buzilish uchun retsept bo‘lib, odamlarning instinktlari qandaydir ko‘rsatmalar bilan tartibga solinmasa, jamiyat bugun atrofimizda ko‘rayotgan illatlar bilan azoblanishda davom etaveradi: ibodat shakli sifatida ritual bolalarni zo‘rlash; boylikni oshirish vositasi sifatida jinoyat va ekspluatatsiya; yoki jinsiy istakni qondirish vositasi sifatida gomoseksualizm yoki zo‘rlash va boshqalar.
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.
Yaratguvchining hidoyatisiz, insoniyat bu ahvolga tushishdan boshqa iloj topa olmaydi. Demak, bu holatdan barcha odamlar uchun chiqish yo'li bo'ladigan bunday hidoyatga ehtiyoj bor va shunga ko'ra, bu hidoyatni Yaratguvchidan insoniyatga yetkazadigan elchilarga ehtiyoj bor.
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.
Darhaqiqat, insoniyat tarixining boshidan beri odamlarga payg'ambarlar yuborilgan. Ular ushbu hidoyatni olib kelib, insonlarni o'z mavjudligining mohiyatini tan olishga va hayotlarining haqiqati hamda maqsadini tushunishga chaqirganlar. Alloh (swt) aytadi:
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,.
{Darhaqiqat, Biz har bir ummatga: "Faqat Allohga ibodat qilinglar va to'g'ri yo'ldan chetga chiqmanglar" degan (da'vat) bilan bir payg'ambar yubordik.} [TMQ 16:36].
“And verily We have sent among every nation a Messenger (proclaiming) ‘Worship Allah alone, and avoid evil.’” [TMQ 16:36].
Bu elchilarning oxirgisi Payg'ambar Muhammad ﷺ edilar va u zotning hidoyati bilan nafaqat bu borliqning haqiqati, balki insoniyat ushbu dunyo va oxirat hayotida adolat va farovonlikka erishishi uchun xulq-odob qoidalari ham ravshanlashdi.
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.
