[The need] to know a Guide

Of the most important knowledge that humans need, is getting knowledge about pre –existence and eternity.

Imam ‘Alī (pbuh) stated,

“God blesses the one who knows where [s/ he has originated] from, where [s/ he lives] in,

and where [s/ he goes] to.”

As the mankind is to pave the path of The Almighty God,

They need to know: the path they pave,

the goal they go toward it,

and the one who will guide them.

Imam ‘Alī (pbuh) stated to Kumail,

“O, Kumail! You cannot pave any path, unless you know that.”

For inclusive and complete applications, we need to know the guide for.
