Balance in the society

Insaan did not create this world. Thus, Insaan will not be able to decide how this world should function. And even Insaan was not created automatically. He has a Creator who gave him existence. It is the very Supreme Creator who should decide how this Insaan should live on earth. Insaan committed a serious mistake. He considered himself as the owner of this world. He considered himself as the administrator of this world. Yet there is a Supreme Creator for everything that we see in front of us and for all that which we do not know. There is a manual from this Supreme Creator whichgives humanity a clear and an unambiguous indication of how Insaan should live on earth. ButInsaan gave his back to that and took the responsibility of administering the world according to his own-established principles.

The knowledge of Insaan is limited. It is impossible for him to know by himself what is good or bad for him. He is not infallible. So his plan, his project and his principles are full of flaws and shortcomings. He remedies a problem by causing a series of other problems. For example, by granting the right of the mother-in-law, he violates the right of the daughter-in-law and vice versa. He does not give where he should give and he gives more than necessary when he gives. He creates imbalance and this is an element that destabilises the society. The only way and the indispensable means to balance the society is Deen.
