1. There is no human life without God's guidance:Imagine that the traffic authorities in a big city announce that, " Traffic rules are relaxed for two hours today, starting from 10 am. No matter how big the accident you make you will not be charged or punished during those two hours."
What will happen then?
We all know the result. Many people will not take their vehicle out due to fear. We will not even walk on the road. No matter how urgent the job we have, we will wait for those two hours to complete and then only leave our houses. Nothing, including an ambulance, will be on the road! Everything will come to a stand still! What does this mean for us?
Without law, order and mutual understanding, we realize that it is not possible for more than one person to coexist and live together. It is therefore imperative that since the first human couple began living here, they should have been taught the rules of life and the need to follow them.
Rather, we can understand that law, rules and regulations are not made on trial and error basis, that is, after learning from the consequences of actions. In fact, The world is alive because the Creator taught them to mankind from the very beginning!
A man's behavior, actions, and qualities depend on his acceptance or rejection of God. If the sense of accountability to one's deeds is implanted in human minds, then it leads to order and discipline in the person's life. When that becomes absent or reduced, it leads to waywardness and confusion. If such an uncontrollable tendency had existed right from the beginning, the world would have perished long ago.
2. The Creator knows the usage of creation
We will not deny that the human body is the most sophisticated and complex machine found in the world today, Man possesses the intellect and emotions that is missing in other machines. We know that it is essential to follow the instructions of their manufacturer for the proper functioning of any machines. For example, in case of a scooter or a car we posses, we used to maintain the air pressure in the wheels as suggested by its manufacturer. On the contrary, we wont become adamant and keep the pressure as we like just because we are the owners of the vehicle.
If such a simple matter requires the guidance of the maker of the vehicle, is it rational to think that human machine which is highly complicated does not need the guidance of its maker? That too, when we do not have the right to handle a product we posses ourselves as per our wish, how can do so in case of a borrowed own?
3. Divine Guidance is necessary for formation of law and order
Human beings vary in color, race, country, and language etc. Something sinful to one person or a group may not be considered as sinful by others. Similarly, something honored as holy by some may be considered as sinful or abominable act by others. So in order to survive smoothly as a community laws and regulations must be enacted there. To formulate such laws we need a common criterion that distinguishes between right and wrong, sin and virtue, justice and injustice.
The laws that formulated by humans, who knowledge and lifespan is very negligible, are arbitrary and flawed.
On the contrary, only the God who created and cares for this world and all that is in it, has complete knowledge of His creation. It is only the Lord who knows very well what is good and bad not only for man and mankind but for all other creatures and creations. Only the criteria or laws he provides are very noble. Therefore, it can be seen that divine guidance is essential in this regard also.
O mankind, there has to come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers. (Quran 10:57)
