People wonder why we don't know the exact reasons to each of our rules. Like I said before, we don't drink alcohol because God says so, but we don't know the reason why God forbids so. And people wonder why we don't know.
Back then when prophets were present, people only bothered to ask the 4W and 1H, what, where, when, who, how. They very, very rarely asked why. I do not know why is it so, but it is probably because back then science hadn't progressed far, and it was science which prompted us to ask why to everything. Those times people only had to hold on to their own beliefs and know what they have to do to live. There was no necessity to know why, because they believed. But now people only believe in what they can see with naked eyes, most people don't believe in what they can't touch or observe. Then people start asking why to everything before believing. Well it's not weird, considering I'm also one of them. But if they deny things just because they can't see it except with their hearts, then that is probably what God mentioned as those who have eyesight yet are blind. Just as how emotions and dreams exist, that's also how the unseen exists.
Science isn't a bad thing at all, so is asking why. Wanting to know the reason is a good thing, but when there's no correct answer, there's just nothing to say. People can make their own guesses to the answer, and they may even live with it, but they have to realize that it's not the correct answer, even far from the ultimate answer. Answers guessed by humans can easily be proven wrong by humans itself, we just need time to see the roller coaster of right and wrong. Back then they had prophets to ask the answer directly from God, the only creator who knows everything. Now the prophets are gone. But thinking carefully, we don't really need reason to everything. Do I need a reason to fall in love? No. Honestly I don't know why I'm so infatuated with that egoistic narcissistic person. *stupid grin*
Then people wonder why are there no more prophets. They say if the claimed prophets of each religion are here, people don't need to debate anymore about who is right or wrong. But it's wrong. Back then even though there were more than one prophet who brought forth the same message, there were a lot of disbelievers. What difference would it make now? Reading through wikipedia (my hobby) proves that the situation never changed. First they try to refute what the prophets say. Then when the prophets prove with miracles, they say the prophets use black magic and are slaves of the devils, or they use some kind of trick. If they can't find any way to refute the prophets anymore, the call the prophets crazy or mad, or struck with some kind of disease that makes that delusional. Try and read, it's the same story now and then.
Prophets are sent here as reminders for the people. Which means people used to know the truth, but when time passes and new generations are born, they forget. So prophets were sent every time they start to forget again. All the while as people are evolving physically and mentally, the way of life (in other words the required acts and the forbidden acts) are changed several times. If I have to say which, it gets stricter. So if we try to look from the present to the past, it is not actually simply getting stricter, but it just means that people in the past had it easy because of their own states. Now we have a more evolved mind and behavior, thus the final rules are applied to us. But people from thousands of years ago were different from us, therefore the rules were made easier for them. That is why all the way up to a certain prophet people were free to consume alcohol and women aren't asked to cover their heads, but when the time has come and the people are ready to accept what is actually good for them, the final rules are applied starting from the last prophet. And proof of that evolution is that prophets are no longer needed to remind people, because among the people itself there people who act as reminders to continue spreading the forgotten truth. Before the last prophet, only the prophets were brave enough to go against their people who have strayed off onto the wrong path. They were mostly backed up directly by God and by the angels instead of their own species, the humans. But during the time of the last prophet, the humans itself were ready to step into the world and state what they believe is right. The last prophet was backed by the humans, by even more angels than usual who probably got excited from the humans readiness to move on by themselves, and even more by God who is always there. Part of this narration includes my hypotheses, so I can't say it's 100% true. But the part about people being ready to pass on the message without needing a prophet to back them up is true.
What's the title got to do with this? I leave it up to you to guess. ;D
