Islam is not a mere collection of certain rituals, dogma and ceremonies but it provides us with a complete code of life. Islam gives us the absolute analysis of political, economic and social life the first and foremost point of emphasis in Islam is Monotheism (Tauheed). Tauheed (Oneness of Almighty Allah) creates the concept that God is one. Men have been negating this on account of weak belief, the man with external and superficial excitement says the name of Allah but actually he has circumscribed all of his hopes around things. Allah has created man on the best form but man has been degrading himself by those attributes which amount to polytheism or "Shirk".
Allah Says in Quran, "And verily we have given respect to the Children of Adam." Islam has given superiority to men over certain other creatures. This superiority is due to the knowledge and intellect given to him.
The power of knowledge must be revealed through best deeds. But the truth of the matter is that we have strayed from the right path and in doing so, we have lowered our selves. Allah says, "And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels Verily, I am going to place (mankind) generation after generation on cart." The verse reveals that man is the representative (Khalifa) of Allah on earth. Right to give has not been bestowed on any exalted individual or to any group. It is rather declared as a sacred responsibility devolved on all faithful.
The political system of Islam gives us the principle of responsibility rather than authority.
Sovereignty belongs to Allah alone. By conscious recognition of Allah as the sole Master, all individuals become subservient to His will, Government of an Islamic polity can command political obedience on the part of people so long as it performs its duties according to Shariah. The Holy Prophet Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] is reported to have said, "There is no obedience in sinful mothers, it is obligatory only in the matter of righteousness."
He further said, "No obedience is due to him, who does not obey Allah".
Allah says in Quran, "He is the Master of all powers."
In Islam politics and religion (Din) are not separated, Islam and government are twin. None of two can remain isolated. Islam is like a building while government is its guardian. A building without foundation demolishes and a person is robbed if he has no guardian. So, as Muslims we should implement the constitution of Islam which consists of Quran and Sunnah of the prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]. Islam lays great emphasis on education (Knowledge).
Allah's Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, "Acquisition of knowledge is obligatory to all the Muslims".
The Quran says, "Allah will exalt the grades of those who have become believers among you and who have been given knowledge."
So the verse of Quran indicates the dignity of knowledge i.e. the knowledge of Quran and Sunnah (Hadiths). But we should also get wordly knowledge of Science and Technology and other branches, to meet the needs of changing worldly condition.
Islam believers in the inductive method, which regards reason and experience as the instruments of knowledge together with nature and History as the resources of knowledge. Induction is a great gift of Islam to humanity. Prophet Muhammad's [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] constant prayer was, "Oh Allah add to my knowledge."
Islam aims at banishing evil from human society not merely through words but through deeds also.
Allah says in Quran: "You are the best nation that has ever been raised up from mankind you enjoin justice and forbid evil. You believe in Allah".
It is the duty of every Muslim to contribute to the process of Daawa (Call for righteousness) we must strengthen this process through every step at our disposal. We would be held accountable before Allah, on the Day of Judgment, if we indulge in ignorance. We must convey the message of Islam to all people the Prophet Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, "The most honorable amongst you is the one who fears Allah, fearing the most."
"Fear of Allah" does not simply imply the saying of prayers regularly, keeping fasts, paying Zakat and performing Hajj. It also implies fair and just dealing and kind treatment towards one's fellow being.
For the enforcement of justice, Islam believes neither in un controlled economic pattern as portrayed by capitalist nor the socialistic solution in which the whole life of individual is subjected the excessive legal restraints. Islam on the other hand adopts its delimit modes to chanelize the collective efforts for the betterment of the whole society. Implementation of "Zakat" is an obligation on state for the creation of economic justice, Islam has prescribed such solid principles of economic ills. It prohibits usury, which is the root cause of all socio-economic ills.
Every Muslim is expected to spend his wealth in the way of Allah.
Almighty Allah say, "They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto then give tidings (O Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]) of a painful doom".
Islam does not believe in so called clan war as upheld by Monism. Islam is a universal religion. Allah says, "It is He, who has sent His Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] with guidance and the religion of trough. (Islam to make it superior over all religions".
It means that system of Islam must be implemented in the whole universe. In this way, He wants to test the faiths and beliefs of His men. Islam is above consideration of caste, colour, race and nation. It teaches universal human brother hood. It is the duty of Muslim Ummah to propagate the message of Islam and a universal constitution to implement Islamic system of prayers is obligatory on the (Khalifa) ruler.
Allah says, "And when they are given government on the earth, they establish the system of prayer (Salaat) and give Zakat and enjoin the right conduct and forbid evil."
To achieve these far reaching effects, the Muslims are required to adopt the methods of Daawa (call for righteousness) and Jihad. It is the distinction of Muslim Ummah, so we need to mould our selves according to Shariah. Our character can impress other to adopt am Islamic way of life. Then we must disseminate our point of view with best possible login.
Allah says. "Call the people toward the path of Allah with wisdom (Login) and good advice and discussion with the best possible way."
Islam has given to women a respectable place in society. The Quran reveals the equality of rights of women with men in their good conducts and characteristics. The Quran says, "Muslim men and women, obedient men and women, faith full men and women, truthful men and women, pious men and women, Good fearing men and women".
Women should knockout those organized conspiracies, which are distracting their minds. In this respect, we must firmly stick to the guidance of Quran and Sunnah to fail the devilish designs of the enemies. Our salvation lies in following the teachings of Quran and Sunnah.
Islam is a complete code of life and this code must be implemented as constitution to acclaim the cherished goal.
