Importance of Deen in Human life:

1. Deen Provides Guidance to Mankind:

The primary function of Deen is to guide people towards the right path: ―And We have sent down to you the
Book explaining all things as a guide, a Mercy and Glad tidings to Muslimsǁ. The Quran revelation which
continuous the import of Deen of Islam is universal; but only the righteous ones will take heed of it; ―Surely,
this Quran guides to that which is most rightǁ. (5:17) and the God-fearing ones: ―This is the Book; in it is
Guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allahǁ.

2. Deen provides a clear path:

It is Divine Light of God which shows the clear path right from wrong, the true form the false; ―there has come
to you from Allah a new light and a manifest Book. (5:17) and again in Surah Taghabun; ―Believe, therefore, in
Allah and His Messenger; and in the Light which We have sent down.ǁ

3. Deen Leads Mankind from darkness to light

The Quran leads people out of the ignorance of darkness and evil into the light of goodness and piety; ―A Book
which We have revealed unto you, in order that you might lead Mankind out of the depths of darkness into light
by the leave of their Lordǁ.This Divine Light offers a ray of hope to those who have lost their way in the
wildness of darkness: ―He is the One Who sends to His servants Manifest signs, that he may leads you from the
depths of darkness into lightǁ. (57:9)

4. Divine Religion is a source of Wisdom and knowledge:

The book of Deen contains unsurpassable knowledge and wisdom: ―Yasin‘ by the Quran, full of wisdom.ǁ
(4:113). Mohammad (PBUH) was taught the wisdom of the Quran so that he in turn could divulge it to the rest
of mankind.

5. Deen sets the criterion for the Right and wrong:

The Quran provides guidance on judgment and the justice:

―Ramadan is the month in which was sent down the Quran, as a guide to mankind, also clear Signs for
guidance and judgment between right and wrongǁ. (2:185) It is undoubtedly a manifest criterion between truth
and falsehood: ―It is He who sent down to you, in truth, the Book as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the
criterion of judgment between right and wrongǁ. (3:3)

6. Deen Is spiritual Cure of Modern Man

God promises mercy to those who follow the guidance of the Quran: ―And this is a Book which we have
revealed as a blessing; so follow it and be righteous, that you may receive mercy. (6:155). This is the only hope
for the spiritual future of man, a cure for the lost and hurts souls, a guide for the evil and misled ones, and a joy
for those who repent. ―We sent down the3 Quran that which is a healing and a Mercy to those who believeǁ.
(17:82)

7. Teachings of Deen are Guard against Evil

The Quran develops fear of the God, and reverence and love for Him: thus it guards those against those evils;
―It is a Quran in Arabic without crookedness therein, in order that they may guard against evilǁ. (39:28) A true
believer is shield by the powerful cover of the Quran against evil and wicked ways: Thus does Allah make His
signs clear to men that they learn self-restraint (and guard themselves against evil)ǁ. (2:187)

8. Deen Provides a Clear Message to Mankind

Allah says: ―This is a Book with verses or fundamental (of established meaning), further explained in the
details—from One is wise and well-acquainted with all thingsǁ. (11:1) The details of life are covered precisely:
―And We have sent down to you the the Book explaining all thingsǁ.(16:89) Problems of life are explained
form all points of view and by different way, so as to elucidate its meaning to any layman: ―We have explained
things in various ways in this Quran in order that they may receive admonition, but it only increases their fight

form the Truth.ǁ (17:41) Divine messages, no matter how simple, are always ignored and rejected by those who
do not believe in God.

9. Deen Induces In Man Peity and Remembrance of God

Piety refers to the inner fear man must have for his Creator. This profound fear centralizes the concept of God
and His remembrance in the mind of the believer: ―Thus We have sent the Quran in Arabic and explained
therein detail some of the warnings, in oreder that they may fear Allah, or that it may cause their remembrance
of Him.ǁ (20:113) God has clarified His massage aptly in the Quran for man to attain Taqwa: ―Thus does God
make clear His Message to men, that they may fear Him.ǁ (187)

10. Deen Provides Principles for establishment of Justice

A vital function of the Deen is to guide in the establishment of balanced system of justice and equality: ―We
have sent down to you the Book in truth that you might judge between men, as guided by Allah.ǁ (4:105)
Attempt will be made to defeat the system of justice. The Quran therefore, warns the righteous to be on guard
against such people and exhorts them always to seek the help of God for protection: ―it is God who has sent
down the book which is truth, and the balance to Judge betweenright or wrong.‘ (42:17) Thus the Quran, Being
the last of the revealed Books and Islam provide the most comprehensive Code of Justice.
