If every ideal is a direct summand, then every module is injective

42 Views Asked by At

I am trying to prove the following result:

Let $R$ be an algebra. Show that every $R$-module is injective if, and only if, every ideal is a direct summand of $R$.

The $(\Rightarrow)$ implication is very easy, but the other way around is giving me trouble for quite some time now. For this problem, I would rather have a hint other than a full answer, but either is fine.
