As we live in a society and belonging to various beliefs and faiths, we need a common scale to adjudge what is right and what is wrong. Some acts which are considered good by a group of people are considered as bad by others. Some acts or things that are revered as holy by some section of people or faiths are considered unholy or sinful by others. As long as such multi standards exist, peaceful coexistance of people belonging to diverse sects is not possible.
Now, how to arrive at a common criterion to judge between good and bad, holy and unholy, justice and injustice?
Can we judge an act as good based on the mejority of people doing it? or can we judge it according to individual conscience? or according to collective conscience of people of our race, religion, linguistic faction, city, province or country?
Or can we accept our forefathers as judges? or the religious leaders and saints? As per the saying 'King is always right' can we accept our rulers and presidents of the nation as our judges?
Thus we can see that none of the above options can provide us a common criterion which will be just. So, to reach at an ideal solution there is only one way. Which is that?
Almighty God the Creator and Cherisher of the world is the Master and Owner of it. He is Ominipotent and Omniscient. As He is Knower of the needs and purpose of all His creations He can only be the ideal Judge to provide an ideal criterion. As He is the Cherisher of the world, He can only be the ideal distributor of rights and provisions among His creations. Moreover, since He is the Master of the Day of Judgement, He is going to judge our deeds according to the criterion given by Him.
Thus the Criterion given by our Creator can only be ideal and safe for all human beings and by adopting it one can lead a peaceful in this world and in the hereafter.
So the latest Book revealed by God Almighty to mankind is the Holy Quran is the latest Criterion for people living in the world at present.
"The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.." (Quran 2:185)
"Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a warner" (Quran 25:1)
