RAISING OF THE PROPHETS: Grand Ayatullah Makarem Shirazi

Raising of Prophets

Grand Ayatullah Makarem Shirazi:

We believe that Allah, the exalted,raises prophets and dispatches them as Messenger in order to guide His servants and lead them out of the darkness of ignorance and misery to the light of knowledge, purity and well being, because Allah created man for well being

According to this, He augiments all of the means of well being in man's essence and in the vast universe. (We believe) that the dispatching of prophets is only for the perfection of these aims.That the teachings of prophets and divine laws are only perfected elements for the character of man and his nature. Every law contradicting the nature of man, it's creation is not from Allah's side.

We believe that the aim of prophets is proper education; proper instructions; to anchor. the principal of ethics; to strengthen its support in the scope of human relations:to establish order and to apply justice in human society The Glorious Qur'an already has already clarified each of these matters and rights in numerous verses.

We respect all of the Prophets and messengers without exception. However, we believe that the previous divine. scriptures are tainted with superstition and the hands of alterations were engaged throughout the long course of time and the end of its Era.The One Most Truthful and living bears witness that those disgraceful and shameful (acts)were ascribed to Allah, the creator of the universe and diety of the worlds. (Also,they attributed disgraceful and shameful acts) to the pure Prophets and Messengers,upon them all be peace.The Qur'an is the only peerless divine scripture which is in our hand without change or alternation.
