Mentioning the most important goals for which the prophets have been sent, Allah the Most High has said(in the holy Quran) : "Even as We have sent to you an Apostle from among yourselves who recites to you Our communications, and purifies you and teaches you the book and the wisdom, and teaches you that which you did not know." The Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) said: "I was not sent but to perfect good behaviour." Imam Ali the Commander of the Faithful (AS) said: "O people! When Allah created men, He wanted them to obtain valuable qualities and noble behaviour. He knew that it could not happen except by explaining what is good and what is bad; which in actuality He has explained through religious commands and prohibitions[brought to mankind by the prophets]."
