Summary/Abstract: The history of humanity shows that there is no period on earth which is far from religion, and truly superstitious societies absolutely believe in a religion / religions. This is because believing is a necessity and a need of the fitra. Besides, when we look at religions that have been accepted throughout history, we see the existence of some other primitive religions. When we look at the nature of religions that are accepted as authentic, it can be deduced that they are basically one. It is seen that the prophecy institution that started from Adam has same basic rules, even if the conditions change. These rules are universal and basically have the characteristic that leads people to happiness. The differences in the rules brought by the prophets are in the subjects of details. The rules related to belief and morality, whose validity have never been lost, have not changed since the time of Prophet Adam, down to Prophet Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and consequently up to the last Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). These rules have an indispensable place in forming a proper and happy society. Because any society where these rules are invalid ultimately becomes problematic and the members of such a society are in trouble.
