The main aims of the prophethood according to the holy Quran

SHAFAQNA – Allah (SWT) in Ayahs 129 and 151 of Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 164 of Surah Al-e-Imran and Ayah 2 of Surah Al-Jom’ah emphasized that education and purification (of souls) are the main aims of the prophethood. Purification means to clean; ways of changing wrong and corrupt thoughts, beliefs, behaviours which cause the human being to move away from the truth. This self-construction and self-purification is carried out by Divine Piety, paying Zakat, other religious charitable duties and other cases like these. Of course, according to the holy verses of the Quran, the human being must try self-construction but at the same time must know that human purification cannot be achieved without Divine Purification as mentioned in Ayah 49 of Surah Al-Nesa and Ayah 21 of Surah Al-Noor.
