One of the issues that has long occupied minds is the question about the meaning of life; a concern that is counted among the gifts of the creation system to mankind and attention to it can be considered a criterion for the humanity of individuals or their fall into animal life.

But has God who has placed this question in our thinking also put its answer at our disposal? The answer of different schools to this enigma is not the same and each has proposed a purpose like suffering or pleasure, future or present, liberation or servitude, and knowledge or wandering for life.

This difference of opinion shows that the creation system has not clearly placed this answer at everyone’s disposal and has made reaching it dependent on more awareness. This awareness must be obtained through searching in human knowledge and to benefit from any useful point for improving it.

In this examination, the first noteworthy point is reports about individuals who have introduced themselves as prophets and receivers of God’s answer to fundamental questions. This claim is so important that the slightest possibility of its correctness cannot be ignored and one cannot pass by it with indifference.
