23 _ ISLAM AND THE HUMAN NATURE
WE BELIEVE that Monotheism, belief in God, and the commandments of the Apostles, are all natural, and based upon the human instinct. The prophets have only watered and grown this fruitful seed.
"So set your face steadily in devotion to the true religion_the natural pattern on which God Has made mankind.
(Let there be) No change in this natural pattern created by Allah. That's the standard religion which most people do not understand.
THE HOLY QUR?N _ S30: 30
This is why throughout the history; Man has had some sort of deity and Religion. Even those nations who bore the heavy pressures of anti_religion policies and propagandas, have returned back towards their religion as soon as they obtained some freedom.
Of course it can not be denied, That Man, for his low culture has often had his true religion mixed with superstitions, and the prophets main roles were to remove that and clean the mirror of the hearts.(1)
