b. Give reasons why mankind needed the revelation of the Quran.[8 Marks].

There were so many religions which necessitated the revelation of the Quran to unite them.

The Quran was revealed to suit all mankind who needed guidance voluntarily. There is no compulsion in religion.
The earlier Scriptures were intended for particular people; e.g. Banu Israil, the Jews, etc. therefore there was need for a universal message.
The earlier Scriptures which had lasted for centuries could not be preserved as they had lost their authenticity and therefore there was need for an authentic Scripture.
The earlier religions and Prophets continuously assured their followers of the coming of a Messenger (Prophet Muhammad s.a.w) with a Book (the Quran) which would lead to objectives of their religion. So the revelation of the Quran was in fulfillment of these objectives.
There was need for man to be directed on how to worship Allah [S.W.T] in the right way.
Mankind needed knowledge relating to the science of the universe which is all explained in the Quran.
Mankind needed a book to guide him on social, spiritual, political and economic reforms.
There was also need for knowledge of the hereafter.
Mankind needed true knowledge of Tawheed and the Attributes of Allah [S.W.T]
Mankind needed accounts of the past Prophets.
Mankind needed a code of conduct; Akhlaq.
Mankind needed the knowledge of the hidden/ unseen world e.g. the heavens, hell, Angels, etc.
