In the name of Allah The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful
Assalamualaikum w.b.t
Islam is a complete way of life leading to a balanced way of
living. Islam integrates all domains of human life, just as the different
systems in the human body unite to make a complete human being; if one system
dysfunction, it will affect the whole body. Likewise, Islam establishes systems
of laws that integrate all parts of human society to bring happiness and peace
to all its members.
Islam is a social, economical, and political guide for
individuals and communities. The Islamic principles and system of
worship, civil rights, code of behavior, dress code, diet, laws of marriage,
divorce, inheritance, war, peace, economics, and trades provide realistic,
fair, and objective solutions to the individual, family, social, and
international problems.
Islam clearly establishes Muslims duties and rights with
God, self, children, relatives, neighbor, guest, environment, and everybody
else.
The spiritual and secular lives in Islam are closely
interrelated. A spiritual belief that does not deal with social behavior,
economic relations and international organizations is as erroneous as the
social doctrine that does not consider spiritual belief, morality and behavior.
Almighty Allah asserts in the Quran that human beings were
created to worship Him, and that the basis of all true worship is
God-consciousness. Since the teachings of Islam encompass all aspects of
life and ethics, God-consciousness is encouraged in all human affairs. A good
Muslim must submit himself completely to the Will of Allah in his worldly and
spiritual affairs. Almighty Allah says “Say: ‘Truly, my prayer, my
sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds. No
partner has He: this am I commanded, and I am the first of those who submit to
His Will.’” [Quran 6:162]
Islam is a divine guidance wherein humans of all nations,
colors and tongues are linked to a Supreme Power and Justice. Islam does
not allow a hierarchy of intermediaries between Allah his creation.
The eternal miracle of Islam, THE QURAN, is a standing challenge to the
intellect of all peoples at all times. Almighty Allah Says:
“Then do they not reflect upon the Quran? If it had been
from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much
contradiction.” [Quran 4:2]
Islam is a code of life which governs the Muslims spiritual
life, intellectual life, personal life, family life, social life, economical
life, political life and international life.
Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God
revealed through all His prophets to all people. For a fifth of the world’s
population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow
a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness. The majority of Muslims have
nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated
with their faith.
