Isaiah’s purpose was to address the need of purification, using a message that met the needs of both rich and poor and by using examples and descriptions that made sense. Isaiah was a passionate spokesperson that advocated to “Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless and plead the cause of the widow”(Isaiah 1:17) This spread his message clearly and effectively throughout the kingdom. His Job was very important; it was to call Jewish people back to the morality and rule of law that God required, reminding them the covenant God made with Abraham.

In many ways, Islamic religion was what promoted and justified scientific exploration and discovery. Muhammad told his people to seek knowledge, “God did not send down a disease without also sending a cure (Al-Kahlili).” Muhammad’s wisdom helped to promote exploration and discovery among Muslims.

He writes with the hope that we can move beyond discord and division to both reverence and tolerance.
Art of the Egyptian Afterlife It was very important to the ancient Egyptians to enter the afterlife. There were many ways they worked to ensure this. The layout and orientation of the pyramids and their access to the Nile, the mummification process to preserve the perishable soul, the items left in the tomb to be of use later, they were all to ensure this transition.
