Man has been endowed with three essential faculties, namely the spiritual intellect, reason and will. During his lifetime, man experiences a continual inner struggle to choose between good and evil, right and wrong. The motor of this struggle is the will, as directed by reason. However, carnal desires, personal feelings, interests and such emotions as anger and rancour can sway human reason, so it needs as its guide the spiritual intellect. The spiritual intellect, including conscience, is the source of moral values and virtues.
Historically it is the Divinely revealed religions that have determined what is right and wrong on the authority of their Reveller, namely God, and of the character of the Prophets who conveyed first Revelation. Because of his worldly nature, man can be too obedient a servant of his lusts. When such men as are captive to their lusts gain enough power to rule over their fellows, they light fires of oppression on the earth and reduce the poor and the weak to slaves or servants. Human history is full of such instances. However, as God is All-Just and never approves oppression, He sent His Prophets in certain phases of that history in order to guide and correct the individual and collective life of mankind.
All of the Prophets came with the same doctrine, the fundamentals of which are believing in One God, prophethood, resurrection, angels, divine scriptures and divine destiny and worshipping God. All of the Prophets also conveyed the same moral principles. In this sense, all the divine religions are one and the same, but the flow of history through some epochs varying in cultural, geographical, social and economic conditions required different prophets to be sent to each nation and certain differences to be made in the acts and forms of worship and in the subdivisions of the law. Until such time as these conditions allowed that the Seal of the Messengers could be sent and the religion completed so that, in its essentials, it sufficed thenceforth to solve all the problems humankind will encounter until the end of time and be applicable in all conditions.
