Jihad Against Terrorism
Assalamualaikum.
I was surprised to see the contents of the thread titled "Evolution of Religion". I thought it would refer to how Abrahamic and other religions have evolved over time in their teachings and how God has advanced the laws for us human beings. But instead I saw a discussion of the "natural" comeuppance and subsequent evolution of religion according to the human psyche. That is, I saw in this religious evolution discussed with the point of view that religion was established as a social need over time. So I will address in this post how religion has prevailed in human beings due to Gods direct interference as opposed to the socialist and atheist viewpoint that humans created God.
It is factually incorrect of socialists to state religion slowly evolved as humans realized they needed something to worship. Facts oppose this viewpoint.
We see that religion and the concept of God and the craving for a connection with Him has always been re-established by Prophets of God. Furthermore, this happens always in a time that people to whom the prophet is sent are far detached from religion (or follow it blindly without spirit or thought).
So, for example, according to the Quran, Abraham proclaimed Prophethood at a time when his own father and the people around him worshipped a thousand Gods. The same was the case with Moses when people used to worship the Pharoah. Turn to Jesus and he, too, was sent to let the Jews know that they were now blindly following their religion with no idea of what it meant to follow it. And, of course, we have Prophet Muhammad (peach and blessings of Allah be upon him) who came at a time when Arabs were worse than animals in many ways and people with a real connection with God were very hard to find.
Some socialists claim that as time passed humans went from worshipping several Gods to worshipping one God. Yet history shows that Prophets came to give people a unity concept of God but as time passed people moved away from that concept and associated partners to God. Or, stopped believing in Him at all. As we see today, 1400 years after the advent of Islam humans are atheists openly or hypocritically (as in they claim to believe in God but their actions show otherwise).
In conclusion, humans tend to move away from the concept of God over time. It is not the other way around. The only reason they return to Gods worship is due to direct interference of God by sending one person who claims to be a Prophet. So is the case with Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Moses, and all the others.
