Dear Brother / Sister,
Man’s powers of animal appetites, anger and intellect has been left free in terms of creation; they have not been limited. The reason for it is to ensure man’s development through his partial free will. Therefore, there may be oppression, cruelty and injustice in treatments. It is necessary to be just in order to prevent them.
However, the intellect of each individual is too weak to understand justice fully. Therefore, there is a need for universal intellect so that individuals will make use of that universal will. Such a universal intellect can be in the form of a law. Such a law can be imposed only by Allah.
Then, the book in which theuniversal intellect that will protect man from the extremism of thepowers of animal appetites, anger and intellect and protect the community oppression and transgression is the Quran.
