If the heritage (with the exception of the heavenly belief) is a human product, then it includes within it right and wrong thoughts and actions, negatives and positives. Heritage is present in the Islamic nation in the sense that it is considered a component of thought, conscience and behavior, and it has its action and influence in the present. This is what prompted some to describe heritage as a living "continuum" that descends with past generations into the present and heads towards the future in a continuous flow.
