The most important way in the philosophy of the tradition is that human should not be left freely and they should have obligations and duties because if human does not get familiar with the right path of the life, they will go awry. Therefore, the philosophy of the presence of the God prophets was to guide human and show them the right path. This blessing was granted to human by exalted God and they should try to walk through this path. Hence, we should thank great God and worship God for consistency in this choice and path and express to him « اهدنا الصراط المستقیم »
It has been clear so far that the tradition of God is the same the rules for saving and guiding human in order that they can achieve to the happiness of the world and the doomsday and they are considered as a tradition from exalted God. On one hand, God created human and devoted talents in the inner of human and on the other hand, he sent the prophets that had the tradition, followed it and guided human in the right path so that they did not go astray and wrong.
Now we should answer this question '' if there were not any rules and the tradition and human did not have any obligations to fulfill, what would happen to human?
We can answer it in this way '' if exalted God had not determined the path for human through the prophets, in fact, they would have left them in their own ways.
Leaving human in the world makes them do bad actions and such thing from God is vulgar and ugly and God is never described in such affairs. Therefore, deceased Allame Heli expresses in this case '' if exalted God does not determine any obligations for the persons that have the conditions of obligations, puberty, power and choice, he has led human to do vulgar actions. There is no question that leading human to do vulgar actions is vulgar and it is deserved to be censured and such a thing is vulgar and impossible from exalted God . In other words, if God does not determine the religion and obligations, he has done a vulgar action and persons are obliged to do vulgar actions. The explanation of the matter is that exalted God has created human in this way: on one hand, he has granted them wisdom, will and conscience and on the other hand, he has established desires and rebellious instincts. These desires of human always tend toward lust and do not care about virtues and perfections that are difficult to acquire. Hence, if God does not have human do affairs that are in their favor and he does not prevent them from doing affairs that have evil consequances, a person will not have any motivations for giving up temporary desires. Hence, obligations that are same the tradition of God train human to live like Muslims and to deal with the social and personal corruptions and do not be in the consequences of disobeying the orders of God.
This is very important point to be paid attention in the philosophy of the tradition. Such an expression is confirmed with narrations as Amir Al-Momenin (peace be upon him) states '' tendency toward good actions and virtues and achievement in the perfections and the moral principles are so difficult, but they can save human in the world. However, doing vices is very easy, but they can be deadly and pernicious.
It has also been said in another Hadith that persons make their souls have tendency toward the perfections and the virtues, but your soul has tendency toward vices involuntarily and there is no mercy. In other words, enjoying material pleasures are available in the world. Promises for the heaven and the hell are free. Hence, if the tradition of God were not in this world seriously in order to guide human, most of persons will not ignore the material enjoyments that are easily acquired; therefore, the religion and the traditions of God have a vital role in preventing from vices. The persons have been said that this is the promise of God. It means that God that is powerful, knowledgeable and wise can implement whatever he promises. Hence, the prophets came to announce human that they should follow the rule and the religion of God seriously and fulfill the obligations of God so that they do not lose their chances in the life. To conclude, it can be expressed that the religion and the tradition of God are the means of the religious growth of human and of receiving the precious reward of the doomsday. Moreover, the religion and the rule of God organizes the social system on the basis of justice , trains the anger and the lust of human and controls them and it also provides a chance that human can recognize the purpose of the creation of the world that is worshiping and approaching God.
As it was discussed about the philosophy of the religion and the rule of God in the previous matters, it was concluded that God that is powerful, sagacious and wise has created human for a specific purpose and to achieve to this purpose, he has shown the right path through the prophets so that everyone can recognize the right path of his or her life with his or her choice; therefore, she or he is praised, honored and bowed and they can benefit from the reward of God.
Of course, it is clear that a person will not achieve to a great benefit without obligations and the religion. This philosophy of the religion can be understood and defended by anyone because fulfilling obligations, everyone has chosen the right path, has achieved to bliss and will benefit from the reward of God. On the other hand, some persons stand against fulfilling the obligations determined by God or maybe they do not care about acting them and do not fulfill their obligations even though they have accepted the rule of God. Hence, such persons should not expect to be bowed, honored and praised as well as they will not benefit from the reward of God.
Hence, the religion from exalted God is a great blessing because if someone wills to improve and achieve to spiritual growth and religious perfection, in fact, the religion will be the steps of growth and the perfection of human and persons need these steps regardless of what rank or the stage of religious growth they are. The more human grows, the more they need these steps of religious growth; otherwise, they will not achieve to bliss and they will not have a chance to grow.
Hence, it seems that the rules of God have been determined for the real life of human and the advantages and the disadvantages of human have been considered. Hence, from the aspect of verbal benefit, the religion has been determined so that human can be praised and honored and consequently, they can receive the reward of God. From the aspect of moral benefit, to obey the orders of God, human can achieve to good attributes through the religion. For example, verse 183 in Baqarah Surah emphasizes that one of purposes of the religion is fast, the improvement of devout and piety.
''O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint''.
In fact, fast is necessary so that fulfilling it, human can achieve to the divine piety that is in the centre of morals. From the mystic aspect, the religion helps human to achieve to the satisfaction of God and can represent the greatness and the beauty of God. Others points that should be reminded include that from the aspect of sociology, the philosophy of the religion and the rule of God are to prevent from chaos with implementing the rules of God. Moreover, to continue the life and to meet the needs of human depend on social life and it is clear that social life needs rules that are from God because all needs of human ( whether material or spiritual) have focused on the rule of God. In other words, the bliss and happiness of the world and the doomsday, social equality, and order and association among different affairs along with devout are the features of the rule of God. All of inner aspects of human, all of his or her needs and his or her advantages and disadvantages have special attention only in the rule of God that comes from divine messages and these are not found in the rules of human perfectly provide that the societies inspire them from the divine trains in order to enact their rules; therefore, they can meet the real needs of human to some extent.
Some of Islamic great scientists have stated about the importance of the existence of the religion and the rule of God '' human is social naturally and there is no question that to establish order and to prevent from chaos, persons need a rule that includes all of the real aspects and needs of human in the social life and on the other hand, a rule should leave positive effect on the religious life and the improvement of persons in the society and should control the desires and the instincts of human appropriately.
Rule related to the life of human should be exalted, lead human toward religious realities and establish equality in the society. There are warnings and promises in implementing each rule and there are worldly punishment and encouragement along with their religious reward.
Deceased Khaje Nasr Al-Din Tusi mentions the philosophy of the rules and obligations and states briefly but deeply '' obligations are to prevent human from doing bad actions''.
If there are not the religion and the rule of God in the society, persons are free to do actions that are even illogical and stupid and this freedom leads to ugly and vulgar actions in the society, definitely lowers the rank of human, results in the decline of human and makes them drown in their desires and lusts. Since such a person is not a faithful person, he or she does whatever he or she desires.
Hence, the religion and the rule of God prevent human from tending toward ugly actions. To implement the religion of God appropriately, persons can train each other and the society and achieve to personal equality with attempt and diligence. This can provide a ground for a person to walk in the path of social equality and to lead the society in the path of the permanence of human values.
