Human failures: the result of failing to follow the Islamic prescription
Therefore, when it is said that the goal of be’that is to save human beings, it means something else: it means that what the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) and Islam gave to human beings is a prescription that is effective in all eras, a prescription to counter ignorance of human beings, a prescription to counter establishment of injustice, a prescription to counter discrimination, a prescription to counter oppression of the weak at the hands of powerful people, a prescription to counter all the sufferings that have plagued human life since the beginning of creation. Just like all other prescriptions, if this prescription is followed, it will produce results and if it is ignored or misunderstood or if people lack the courage to follow it, then it will be useless. If the best doctor writes the best prescription for you, but you fail to read and follow it or if you misread it, what effect will it have on your illness? Can we blame the experienced doctor who wrote the prescription?

Centuries passed and Muslims forgot the Holy Quran. Quranic guidelines disappeared from the lives of Muslims. Muslims either misunderstood the Holy Quran or they intentionally distorted its messages. They either understood the Holy Quran appropriately but did not have the courage to take action or they took action and achieved certain achievements but failed to make sacrifices to safeguard their achievements. Even when they did not understand the Holy Prophet’s (s.w.a.) messages during early years after the introduction of Islam, they did not dare take action. The Holy Quran has referred to such people: “And a party of them asked permission of the prophet, saying: surely our houses are exposed. And they were not exposed: they only desired to run away.”( 1) They could not have preserved their achievements without making sacrifices.
