The Voice of Nature
After dinner, I was out on the road for a walk when I met a man with a strange face. It was known from the fact that he was a knowledgeable person. I greeted them politely. He responded to my greeting in a loving tone. His morals were also exemplary, which impressed me a lot. He also enquired about the situation on the way. So I asked without wasting time knowing the opportunity: Can I ask some questions related to religion? He said, “Of course, but remember forever that it is a good thing to ask questions in any regard, but if the same question takes the form of doubt in a person’s mind, then it misleads man.” Therefore, whenever a question related to religion comes to mind, immediately ask an answer from a scholar or an intellectual, then it will be a source of satisfaction for you and will also cause an increase in your religious knowledge.
I liked his advice very much. Then I asked, “Sir! When a person is sincere, he can determine his own profit and loss, so why the need for religion? He said in a loving tone: You have asked a very important question. Just listen carefully! I said, “Head on my eyes, sir! Then he said to me, “The necessity of religion is a natural thing. It is through his existence that man realizes the need for religion within himself all the time. Therefore, this view is also rejected from here that due to social development and civilization, religion and necessity of religion is declining, because the feeling of need for religion is embedded in the veins of man. That is why after a lot of research, today’s historians and researchers have come to the conclusion that in the past, more than 95 percent of all nations and sects believed in God and followed some religion or the other.
I was satisfied to hear his answer and raised another question: In today’s time, the world has progressed a lot. All kinds of blessings and luxuries are provided. The Global Village has given the whole world a pro in one series, then what is the need for religion? Then he said, “See, man’s existence requires two things: physical or material needs. Such as hunger, thirst and sexual needs, etc. So are spiritual needs or spirituality. Just as a person cannot live without eating or drinking anything, in the same way, even if he does not get the food of the earned soul, his life becomes miserable. Even if he gets the comforts of the world and the mafia. It is very important to have religion for the development and progress of man’s natural perfections. Because while man’s pure nature wants to lead him to perfection, the anger and lust in his nature keep trying to keep him away. Therefore, there is a need for a religion, which can fulfill man’s physical desires and lead to the development of his material and spiritual perfections. His rational arguments satisfied me to a great extent.
In the meantime, I asked another question, sir! Does man have only the power of reason, by which he can distinguish between the true and the false, from which he can move forward by taking guidance, or are there other forces in man against him, which become an obstacle in his way? He replied: “Reason guides man to the right path and wants to lead him on the path of material and spiritual progress, but the kahwa wahma wants to entangle man in myths by making him superstitious.” In the same way, the wrath of the people wants to destroy both the individual and the society by diverting man from the path of moderation. In such a situation, it is necessary that there should be a system, which can balance all these things and lead the human society on the path of progress on the basis of reason and nature and it can be nothing but religion. Because material schools put man’s materialism on the path of progress, but are unable to meet his spiritual needs.
Just as flowers are found in a forest, there are plants and a variety of trees. But they don’t matter, because they don’t have much discipline. That is why where the law is not followed, it is called the law of the forest. On the contrary, if these flowers and plants are planted in the beds in a way, then it takes the form of a park and gulistan and absorbs every viewer. In the same way, if human society is left without any religion and law, then the human society not only deviates from the path of development, but it is possible that the society itself will be destroyed by being caught in all kinds of evils. Therefore, at such a time, we become convinced of the need and importance of religion. Because religion is the system of life.
Which can make human society a civilized society. By the way, many religions and schools were born, some of which still remain today, but it is worth noting that Islamic scholars are still providing evidence of their superiority to the people of thought and wisdom without insulting or insulting any religion and school. After listening to these answers, the truths hidden in my nature became suspicious and I felt that if we did not have religion, perhaps we too would have wandered in search of peace and tranquility, as many people who have left religion are wandering.
