“They don’t know what we know”. This
is true of non-Muslims knowing very little, if anything, about Islam. An
example is of someone once telling me that they cannot be Muslim because our
prayers are so methodical and are repeated all the time in the same way. Muslims are partly to blame for the ignorance
of non-Muslims.
If you look to the example above,
then Muslims must educate themselves too to convey the message. The first port
of call is, of course to be the best Muslim you can be which requires, as a
start, some knowledge. Were you to look at the global situation, you will find
many mindboggling statements and events. How do you unravel this? Were you to
look locally, then people are bamboozled and getting swept away by the current
of corruption while thinking they are fighting corruption. You can go through
every facet of life and find that all does not appear to be what it is in
reality. How does this all relate to the example above? That should be almost
self-explanatory to the Muslim. But just a quick point that there is hardly a
person who is not tainted by the evil that pervades society, nay the evil that
pervades the planet. Too few are willing or able to speak about it because they
have mentally been washed away and believing that the current sweeping them away,
means good. The answer to every question is to refer to Allah and His messenger,
Muhammad ﷺ
and nothing has been left out. This blog has always been to get you to think,
to ponder, to discuss and look for those ways to get closer to Allah. Of
course, along that way is a faith that can never be independent of action. To
the Christian who queried our form of worship, then that person left out the
purpose, the purpose of life. Just like anybody would find it strange that a
father, Prophet Abraham – peace be upon him, was ready to sacrifice his son, he
did it because he believed and worshipped Allah who commanded him to do so
(although Allah rewarded him for his intention and the sacrifice was a replacement
ram). The first point is to believe in God, Allah, and to worship Him as it
pleases Him. What your views are on the matter is of no consequence.
The views you have on worship
must conform to Allah’s command and that of His prophet, Muhammad ﷺ. Anything else is but
an opinion which carries weight, if any at all, only for a short while in this
world but will be meaningless and worthless on the Day of Reckoning if it did
not conform with Quran and Sunnah. Islam is a complete way of life and covers
all aspects from rituals to health and wellbeing to inter-personal
relationships to penal law, etc. Your knowledge and education must conform to
Allah’s law and guidance. Islam is a complete way of life – It covers your purpose
on earth.
What about Palestine and your
role? What about “laa adwa” and pandemics? What about healthy eating and
fitness? What about avoiding interest (usury)? The list goes on. Then consider
how much of a way of life Islam is for you and consider the reasons you are
lacking. Then consider the state of the ummah.
