ISLAM-THE ONLY RELIGION OF MANKIND
Outline:
2. Everything of the universe is "Muslim"
1. Meaning of Islam.
The Arabic word Islam mean Mankind's complete obedience to ALLAH'. Islam and enjoins man's complete submission and obedience to ALLAH not merely in belief and mode of 'ibadat' (worship), but also in ethics and morality, culture and social behaviour, in politics and laws, in economic and social set-up and in all the individual, national and international affairs of man alike.
Islam is a comprehensive concept of life. It establishes firm relations between man and ALLAH, and between man and man. It regulates both thought and action. Islam develops Tau-heed and abandons Shirk associating partners with ALLAH.
It attaches utmost value to the life in Hereafter which is Eternal and sole purpose of mankind's creation whereas the worldly life is quite temporary and is merely for the test of this worldly life.
ALLAH preserves this fact more elaborately in the Qur'an 40:39 thus: "This worldly life is nothing but merely a temporary pastime, whereas it is the hereafter that is the home far better and Everlasting."
The word Islam also mean "entering into Salam". Salam signifies "peace" This word is used in the Qur'an in the sense of "peace". The name of ALLAH's Deen as presented in the Qur'an is "Islam" and the name given to the people who follow Islam is "Muslim".
The Root-meaning of the word Islam is "to enter into peace" and Muslim is "one who is completely obedient to the commands of the Qur'an and Hadith.
Mankind observes minutely that the universe is a systematic one. There is perfect law and order among all the the units that make this universe. Everything is allotted a place in the vast scheme which is working in a grand and superb system. The sun, the moon, the stars, and in fact all the heavenly bodies are linked together in a splendid way.
The follow an unchangeable law and do not make even the slightest deviation from Allah's ordained round the sun scrupulously follows the way ordained by Allah for the huge nebulae, constantly follows its own laws. Matter,energy and life, all carry out their laws, grow and alter, live and die in accordance with these laws.
Allah testifies the fact that whatever is in the heavens and the earth is Muslim (Qur'an 24:41) thus "Do you not know that whatever is in the heavens and the earth , and the birds with their outspread wings, are Muslims (submissive to Allah) everyone has learnt his own mode of Salat (prayer) and his own mode of carrying out commands of Allah.
In this human race the laws of nature quite evident.
The birth,growth and life of man, are all working according to set biological laws. All the organs of man's body from the small tissue to the brain and the heart are regulated by the laws set for them by ALLAH.
The entire creation obeys the laws of Allah,hence the whole universe, literally, follows the religion of "ISLAM". It is due to this fact that Islam signifies nothing but obedience and submission to Allah, the Rabb of the Universe. The sun the heat , stones trees, ocean, mountains animals, birds, insects etc., are all thus "Muslim because they obey Allah by their obedience to His laws.
A man too who even denies to believe in Allah or offers his worship to someone else than Allah, his own Creator, has to be a Muslim perforce so far as his bodily existence is concerned. For all his life from the embryonic stage to that of his death, every tissue of his muscles and every limb of his body obeys the course outlined for everyone by Allah's law. His very tongue which because of his ignorance, confirms the denial of Allah or professes multiple deities is in its very nature a Muslim. His very head which he willingly and in a most abject manner bows to others besides Allah is a born Muslim. Man's heart wherein through lack of true Islamic knowledge he cherishes love and reverence for others, is a Muslim by intuition.
They are all submissive to the Divine law, and their functions and movements are administered by the injunctions of that law alone.
