Beauty Of Islam

 

Islam comes from the root word ‘salam’ or peace. It is the way of life obtained by complete submission to Allah(SWT) the creator. Islam enjoins a Muslim humble himself in every aspect of life before his creator. This humbleness can only be obtained by complete submission, obedience and trust in Allah(SWT).It aims at unifying humanity on the foundation of its fundamental pillar of worship of one true God Allah(SWT).Islam enjoins us so in order to establish peace on an individual level, community level and globally. This fundamental tenet is inevitable to eradicate all evils, all anarchist systems and establish harmony. Islam with its beautiful principles and practical approach contains all essential elements to do away with evil and corruption.

What makes Islam unique, beautiful and an essential strategy in establishing peace is that it ordains all preventive measures to avoid evil , it also ordains all measures to deal with injustice and every measure to instruct humanity toward the goal of universal peace. All these aspects are not found in totality in any other world religion. To illustrate, let me give you an example, take the case of crimes against women like rape. Islam ordains a preventive measure called ‘Hijab’ or veil to guard modesty for men and women, to deal with injustice it ordains a strict punishment for the offender and instructs humanity to decency and abstinence from every evil that leads to it. The other beautiful aspect of Islam is that it is the truth from the creator, deriving its teachings from the word of Allah(SWT) directly and addressed to mankind as a whole. This word is a universal message, the Holy Quran whose authenticity can be proved to this day by historians and critics and whose simplicity, guidance, knowledge and mercy to the hearts is incomparable. In His book Allah(SWT) himself chalks out a way of life for mankind with His messenger Muhammad(pbuh) as a role model to demonstrate its practical liability through al times.

Islam is a religion which strives for peace and only allows its adherents to pick weapons against oppression and injustice, in order to establish peace. Mankind is uniquely defined as the ‘Best creation’ by Allah(SWT).His mercy and compassionate is so immense that He allows all of His creation to enter the eternal abode of bliss if they accept His message.

How has its beauty achieved success? They say beauty is what beauty does. Muslims all over the world may not be the most practicing followers of their religion, but Muslims as a whole have the least number of alcoholics and rapists. Muslims are a whole community which is against pre-marital sex , adultery and homosexuality. It has the least number of gamblers and drug addicts. Jesus(Pbuh) in the bible offers a touchstone to judge communities when he says’ By the fruits ye shall judge them’. Islam, though not followed in totality and established universally has proven to be the most beautiful religion for mankind as its facets have established civil and just societies round the globe.
