(3) part three
messengers of allah to people.
the prophets, guides of the people
the man is lost in the wilderness. he is wondering and needs help. can one
who himself is wondering guide others or help them in the matters of guidance?
can he guide other to the right destination?
would you follow one who himself is lost?
can one who himself does not know reading and writing teach others how to
read and write?
for this reason, the leader and guide must have enough knowledge so that
he can show the people the right way and the right destination.
in the class, what do the children do?
who teaches them?
did you know reading and writing before?
who taught you reading and writing?
could you learn reading and writing without the help of a teacher? certainly
not. no one learns without the help of a teacher.
a class needs a teacher. teacher is the guide of the students. he brings
the class in order and teaches the students.
the prophets also are the guides and the teachers of mankind. they guide
the people and show the right way of living, discipline and proper manners
of behaviors and dealing with others.
the very faithful and kind teachers of mankind
prophets were the guides and leaders of mankind from the beginning of history.
they worked hard to educate people, show and teach them how to live a meaningful
life. they would teach mankind about allah, his blessings and bounties that
he has made for them, teach people about the life after death and that what
one should do to be happy and successful in the life after death.
the prophets would deal with people just like very kind, cooperative and
learned teachers. they would teach them the rules of worship, moral discipline
and explain to them about the good and bad deeds, about justice, proper social
dealings and ways how to live a successful life.
at the beginning, people were more simple minded and the prophets tried harder
to help them learn more. as a result of the prophet's hard works people began
to make more progress and continually and gradually they made progress and
learned some measures of proper manners and discipline.
