Explaining the purpose for the creation of Man, the Almighty Allah states: Wa ma khalaqtul Jinna wal insa illa liya'budun "I have not created Man and Jinn, but that they worship Me." (Ad Dhaariyat: Verse 56) Worship can only be performed if there is recognition. In other words, mankind and Jinn have been created to recognize the Almighty Allah.

Using this very principle, we may ask, if a person has not underst...
