As soon as a person develops insight and a sense to question, he is faced with countless queries regarding himself and the environment around him, the most important being, "Who am I?.....Who created me?.........What is the truth of everything around me and how was it made? Whose skillful workmanship is this? The society and the environment say that all this was made by 'Allah. Who is Allah? What is He like? Where is He? How do we recognize Him? How do we reach Him? What is the proof that He really does exist? A person is perplexed when he tries to answer these questions and in the end when all reasoning fails, in this state of utter hopelessness, human nature needs a mentor who would help him recognize his Creator, and help him believe in his own existence. So his Most Merciful Creator does not abandon him, and to fulfill his need, sends a being who helps him get rid of his bewildered state, acquaints him with his Creator, and saves him from going astray.
