 Introduction.

  Man is a social animal. His nature is always inclined to love that's why he likes to live collectively with other people. Man is helpless in this regard forever. ALLAH has given man wisdom and intellect only to live with a society. When a man is born he always looks forward to the people who look after him. When he comes to an age he stands in need of necessities of life. He always remains in need of someone or something and if he is cut off from all these things he will be totally a man for nothing.

Every man affects the life of other.

It is very easy to grasp the idea that every man affects the life of the other and get affected in his case too. But it is not a logic to think a man naturally in lovable, therefore, a group is depended upon persons and any loss to a single man is the loss of the whole group. Both are part and parcel. A group of people  is like human body in which if any part is injured or functioning not well the whole body will not perform other functions well.

For instance if a boy earns a bad name for his family by doing evil deeds the honour of the whole family will be at stake. The same is the condition of the societies where every person is important at his or her place. If there good deed is done by anyone he will will not only brightens his name but also of family and nation to which he belongs. All the members of a society are equally responsible for profit and loss.

They have same emotions and feelings  for their combined progress. And all the nations of the world have the same style of general life and same formation of bodies effects and impressions on each other in different capacities.

Islamic mode of life.

Islam has its own stable and firm mode of life which has certain laws and regulations. It has full code for justice along with equal line. Society is a name of  a united people thus Islam does never ignores the basic rights of an individual as well as of a group. Islam looks all the individuals and groups from a same angle.

  Islam is a religion which favours separate identity of every individual. It never considers a man only a spare of any system but considers an individual within a society. Islam provides a chance to flourish his talents.

Qur'an Says:

" whoso doth right it is for his soul and whoso doth wrong it is against it". (41:46)

 Islamic mode of life.

And to keep on realising the responsibility in this regard it is necessary that one's faith in ALLAH. the Holy Prophet S.A.W and the day of judgement must be fresh for all the time. For this purpose to have knowledge of religion is very important therefore, Islam lays great emphasis upon the acquisition of knowledge. The Holy Prophet S.A.W was particularly taught a Quranic verse.

    "And say: My Lord! Increase me in knowledge" (20:114)

And The Holy Prophet S.A.A himself said: It is the duty of every Muslim man and woman to acquire knowledge.

The acquisition of knowlwdge is mainly for reformation of practical life. That's why Islam has stressed for the quest of knowledge. 

Quran in this regard openly says:

"And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort." (53:39)

The Holy Prophet S.A.W has said that he who attempts for something he gets the same and every man who tries definitely he gets something. At another place the Holy Prophet S.A.W says: 

  Do Try! Because to try is an obligation set to you by ALLAH.

Again the Holy Prophet Says that Faith is in fact a name of attestation by heart confession through tongue and  practical show of organs. And ALLAH does not accept faith without practical and practical without faith.

It simply means that faith and practical are concomitant with each other.

Islam sees Muslim Ummah as the central! Ummah or an Ummah for Good, therefore the solidarity of religion and for the sacrifice of his life for the sake of the propaganda of religion.

In Qur'an the Muslims are ordered:

Go forth, light armed and heavy-armed and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of ALLAH!. (53:41)

Here it is important to note that the environment of Islamic society also provides a chance for the betterment of the world hereafter.

Social Reformation:

Islam not only reform individual but also furthers its reformatory programme to a collective number. It attaches equal importance to individual and society's reformation . Contrary to it modern western revolutions want only to revolutions the common life system but not the life of an individual. It resulted in the failure of those revolutions. At the other end the eastern systems struck at the at the needs of individual and neglected the role of a group which resulted in too in failure. But save all it was Islam which have forth a perfect system of life.
Generally Islam demands a society which is universal, pure of artificial controversies, devoid of prejudices sans cast, creed, colour, land and language, boundary-less at par, collectively justified, having global brotherhood, unique thinking same moral grounds, law abiding people, mutual sympathy, humanity and emotions for helping others with one's wealth and health.
