The requirement of divinity is a requirement upon which philosophies and prophecies are available, its evidentiary evidence is present in the souls and in the horizons, and its psychological motives are concentrated in the minds and in the consciences! {God breaks his fast with which people break his fast} ﴿30﴾ Surat Al-Rum
But this existential demand, which is inseparable from man, disturbs the atheist, and he does not find in his material philosophy an analysis or explanation, so it is assumed that the genesis of religion was through the look of the primitive man in the page of the universe, and not knowing the cause of the phenomenon, so he attributes it to a metaphysical Creator! -1-
A person may ask here:
How is looking at the universe or its phenomena a reason to awaken the deep religious feeling of all nations?
What is the relationship of the occurrence of a cosmic phenomenon to the emergence of a religion that has its constellations, rituals, and primary obligations?
The persistence of any cosmic phenomenon on one order makes it a familiar thing, does not draw attention and needs no explanation!
Rather, if we use this minor reductive measure in analyzing matters, the opposite is always the case. The emission of all religions is the spirit of greatness and power, not surrender, cowardice, ignorance, or primitive fear!
On the other hand, if the creed was the source of the cosmic scenes, and the aim of the rituals was to seek relief from nature; When people continued to be religious after it appeared to be vain attempts, and since religions did not stop one day, and did not separate from the human community throughout all history and across all geography, it must have an independent origin from this short reductionist analysis put forward by the atheist!
Be, was the cause of fear in the first human justification for the emergence of religion, as they say?
If we assume this perception, how do we explain the worship of stones and insects and the trivial things that do not imply such a feeling?
Rather, how do we explain, within this analytical framework of the religious issue, the complete separation between sacred and ordinary matters?
How does the primal fear of all rituals, religions, and cults establish?
Rather, the origin of psychology is based on the fact that the persistence of sensations in a single order weakens the motivation for thinking and fear-2, but the atheist strikes this scientific origin to the brim, and decides that religion, which is the corner of human existence, is based on these hypothetical errors that are inconsistent even within their own framework!
Due to the limitations of this perception in the analysis of the religious phenomenon, Émile Durkheim assumed that society, group and tribal relations were an original source for the emergence of religion, in addition to the reverence of ancestors and the participation of clans in one title in what is known as the totem, and this totem is often an animal title used by families Primordialism is a nickname for it, and with time the totem turned into the first seed of religion! -3-
However, field studies conducted by Robert Schmitt of primitive tribes have shown that there are whole nations, entire civilizations and continents that do not know anything about totem or totemism, and they do not have the system of animal titles, and yet in all of them there is a clear doctrine of belief in the supreme God.
In fact, more recent research by Lang and Frazer has proven that totemism is a civil economic system, not religious as Durkheim imagined, and the idea of religion arose completely away from these silly perceptions and flimsy analyzes!
The totem is a national emblem and symbol that identifies the tribes with their lineages no more, and inspires cooperation and nationalism, but the tribes were much smarter than to worship those drawings or their connotations, but they had another completely independent spiritual idol on which they depended. -5-
And we do not forget that Durkheim had the largest role in deceiving knowledge of Europeans during long decades when he was presenting parties of primitive tribes, including orgas and committing taboos as a religious manifestation for them, as it has been proven that these parties were a rebellion against the structure of the social and religious life of the tribe and not vice versa, and it has now become This fact is one of Durkheim's most famous fraud!
Tribal systems in all societies are based on complete separation of the sexes. It is ironic that Durkheim has offered us for decades these shameless parties and this primitive theater that is indecent in the name of the sacred sanctuary of religions. Rather, it made rebellion against religion a religious manifestation, and attempts at rebellion and lustful childishness as a standard of religion for the first! -7-
But is religion really a social phenomenon, can the religious phenomenon be analyzed in this context?
What sociologists agree upon is that the real social phenomenon as we see it in economic laws and rules has an external existence independent of the group members, while religion is an individual phenomenon in the first place, an internal, internal and independent phenomenon. Those? -8-
Rather, the assumption that the collective mind is the one that creates the religion justifies this assumption for us to say that the stomach is the one that creates food and that the sight is the one that creates the light!
Then how does the collective mind create religion? Has anyone heard of an emerging religion that carries new teachings, in which the group's position towards it is the position of individuals pushing it and obligating them to it, has anyone heard of this before?
Or is the opposite to happen, and the usual position is to oppose it and violently resist its proponent? Is this not the historical origin witnessed and repeated, oh advocates of history and experience?
From where did the idea of the greatest god come from, setting up the heavens and the earth, oh advocates of material analysis, and like any group this image was printed, and how did the calls for it come from throughout history and all geography?
Do you have a single material analysis of this elementary reality in human existence?
What scholars of the history of religions decide, such as Lange, Pascal, Schmitt, Bruce Bruce, Coopers and others, is that monotheism and the worship of the one God preceded the pluralism and the manufacture of pagan gods. -9-
The material analysis of religious phenomena is a hollow, short and extremely reductive analysis!
The truth that we must liberate here is that religions are the ones that went to man and they descended to him, and he did not ascend to them, and that people did not know their Lord by assuming the primitive reason, but by the light of revelation!
The people were not all faithful to the sacred commandment, but this divine teaching did not completely erase its effect from humanity, and therefore the idea of divinity, worship, monotheism, and mixing the sacred with the pagan remained a feature evident in civilizations and nations.
Religion is a pure, innate, innate sentimental experience. Rather, it is the first in the mind of all the priorities, which is the collection of all positive facts, the origin of knowledge, the origin of morals, value, truth and perfection, and as Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may God have mercy on him, said: "Every good on earth is among the effects of prophethood.
And Ibn al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, said, "Without prophecies, there would have been no useful knowledge in the world at all." - 11-
Religion is an innate mental, emotional, and pure spiritual necessity!
It is not known what a person is or his worth, and his ethics are not established except under the banner of prophecy.
Rather, he who denies that God Almighty has sent his messengers and revealed his books did not appreciate him in the right of his destiny, and attributed it to something that is not worthy of him, and that he created his creation in vain and vain, and that he created them a neglectful void, and this contradicts his sacred perfection. He did not know him the right to know him, nor did he honor him with the right of his greatness! -12-
{It was prescribed for you from the religion what Noah commanded and who we revealed to you and what we commanded by Abraham, Moses and Jesus to establish the religion and not to disperse in it.
It goes without saying that denying religion means in reality the assumption that the Creator feeds and sustains and does not hold accountable those responsible, and this contradicts the perfection of his justice and the perfection of his wisdom, glory be to Him Religion is a primary truth in the human psyche that is not analyzed by Durkheim's social imperatives, nor the reductionist vision of a group of primitive tribes. Religion is the essence of human existence!
