Prophetic Guidance for the Modern Age

Furthermore the revealed scriptures of these
religions have been marred by human interpolation.
This is a proven fact. There are many contradictions
in their assertions. Purely academically, it is
difficult to separate the human and the divine
world.
When the image of religion was distorted by human
additions, God sent His Last Messenger in order
that he might put an end to discrepancies and tell
man the truth.
This is the reality that has been pointed out in the
Qur’an:
“We have sent down to you the Book so that you
may explain to them that concerning which they
differ and as a guidance and as a mercy for a people
who believe” (16:64).
The divine book given to the Prophet is a perfectly
preserved book. As such, it serves as a reliable
source of divine guidance and confers upon its
readers the blessing of conviction that they have
been seeking all along. Confidence and conviction
are essential for the building of life in this world.
