Sometimes, we buy a product and we get help from its instruction manual, to manipulate it in the correct way.
This is the manufacturer who provides the manual.
Now we have a creator and to be perfect, we feel the need for a guide.
In this world, humans have been look for the guide for the intended destination, even in devious routes.
Well, how is it possible that humans need guides and leaders on the Earth which is the cradle of [terrestrial] life,
but they don’t feel need to the guide in the vast ocean of the universe?
It is obvious that a person who is moving towards her/ his Lord,
needs the guide not to lose the way and get away from the destination.
Now, how can one use the manual without knowing the guide?
[Well], humans are unaware of this world, the worlds before it and the next worlds (interval between death and resurrection, resurrection and heaven or hell).
On the other hand, the short humans’ lives don’t not allow them to take risks and hazards.
So, we need to know the guide.
And Mahdavīat and dealing with it, refers to a complete identification of the guide…
The sender of the guide is the very provider and creator [God], that completely knows his own creature [Imams (pbu th)]
According to the principle of favor, God has graced to his servants.
Also he has been leading humans, via sending messengers and choosing Imams who are as his authority on the earth.
After all in the resurrection day, people will have no excuses for their straying.
