人类受其本能和生理需求的驱使，若没有任何是非善恶的标准，他必定会迷失方向。历史的记载中充满了人压迫人的事例。贪婪、自私、杀戮、垄断和恶行，都是人在满足其生存本能时的表现。

Mankind is driven to satisfy his organic needs and his instincts, and without any form of criterion for right and wrong surely he will go astray. The annals of history are full of man's oppression of man. Greed, selfishness, killing, monopoly, and vice are manifestations of man fulfilling his survival instinct.

如果人为了满足自身需求而愿意去杀害他人,那么人显然需要对自己的行为加以控制。若没有行为的准则,人为满足需求而进行的追求,必将使他与他人陷入持续的冲突之中。一个人的自由,便是另一个人的奴役。 真主并未放任人类自行其是,人从来不曾有过随心所欲地过自己生活的自由。这与我们对人的认识是完全一致的:人是有限的、依赖的、不完美的。因此,如果人凭自己的方式、自己的制度来主宰一切,那将是虚妄的,因为人对生活的理解是有限的。人总是受到偏见、差异、分歧、矛盾以及当下环境的影响,这很难成为完全公正和绝对真理的基础。任何人造的制度都会遭受同样的偏见、差异、分歧、矛盾和影响。当代政治家与商界之间的联系便是一个例证,提醒我们:表面上公正无私的政治职能,是如何被滥用的。

If man is prepared to go as far as killing others in satisfaction of his needs, then surely man is in need of control over his actions. Without a criterion for action the striving for satisfaction of mans needs will lead him to constant conflict with others. One man's freedom is another’s slavery. God has not left man to his own devices, man has never been free to undertake his life in whichever way he feels best. It is wholly consistent with our perception of man as being limited, dependant and imperfect, that for man to bring his own way, his own system, would be false, due to man's limited understanding of life. Man is always subject to bias, disparity, differences, contradictions and the influence of his current environment, hardly a basis for complete impartiality and absolute truth. Any man made system will suffer from these same bias, disparity, differences, contradictions and influence. The example of modern day politicians and their links with the business community serves as a reminder of how the supposedly impartial nature of the political function can be abused.

人内心的宗教本能提醒我们,人类可能会偏离生命的真正目标。历史上有许多人崇拜太阳、星辰、火焰、石质偶像,而近代则有人崇拜书籍、作家、领袖和物质事物。面对这种强烈的依赖与神圣化本能,人努力满足这一需求,但如果没有体系或明确的指引,纯粹出于直觉或本能的崇拜行为就会使人迷失方向。人必须运用理智来确定正确的神圣化与崇拜之源。有限的存在无法理解无限的存在,因此造物主通过一条对人而言清晰明了的渠道与人类沟通。神派遣先知和使者(即携带神圣律法的先知)到人类中间,在我们生活的一切事务上给予引导。每位先知都被赋予了奇迹,以向人类证明他们先知身份的真实性。

The religiousness instinct within man serves as a reminder to us of how mankind can be diverted from his true goal in life. History shows us many instances of man worshipping the Sun, Stars, Fire, Stone idols, and more recently books, writers, leaders and material things. Faced with this strong instinct of dependence/sanctification man strives to satisfy this need, but without a system or clear guidance in this matter purely intuitive or instinctive acts of worship have led man astray. Man must use his mind to establish the source of the correct form of sanctification/worship. It is not possible for a limited being to comprehend an unlimited being, therefore the Creator has given mankind communication through a channel that is clear for him. God has sent Prophets and Messengers (Prophets with the divine law) to mankind to give guidance in all of our affairs. The Prophets were each given miracles which proved to mankind the authenticity of their Prophethood.

因此我们看到，穆萨（摩西）被赐予了类似魔法的能力，他的手杖掷下后变成一条蛇，吞噬了魔术师的手杖。同样，尔萨（耶稣）被赐予了治愈病人的能力。赐予穆罕默德ﷺ的神迹是《古兰经》，即真主的话语。由于只有真主的使者才被赐予真主的伊斯兰教法（Ahkam Shar'iyah），穆罕默德ﷺ必定是真主的先知和使者。要全面证明这一点，我们必须批判性地考察《古兰经》。

So we see that Musa (Moses) was given the power of magic, when his staff was thrown down and turned to a snake devouring the staffs of the magicians. Or similarly Isa (Jesus) was given the ability to cure the sick. The miracle given to Muhammad (pbuh) was the Qur'an, the word of God. As only the Messengers of God are given the Divine Law of God (Ahkam Shar'iyah) then Muhammad must definitely be the Prophet and Messenger of God. To prove this point comprehensively we must examine critically the Qur'an.
