You use these laws as a guide on your day to day life, therefore they
are used as a guideance for the betterment of individual human beings
who follow them.

Actually there is. "Recite these verses on a daily basis oh Ahmad" Its
in the tablet itself maam.

Exactly my point. Religious laws are for guidance.  You obey the laws
to the best of your ability given your circumstances. So that means if
you are lets say mentally retarded -- birth stroke or accident etc,
you say a prayer instead.
Or if you are homosexual -- just I dont know make do. The  couple I
was told about lived as "flatmates" on becoming Bahais.
