and &#8222;moral&#8220;, &#8222;worldly&#8220; and &#8222;spiritual&#8220; life, and it encourages people to use all their energy to build a life based on healthy moral principles. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">He teaches him that moral and material forces must work together and that spiritual salvation can only be achieved if material aids that are available to man are used for the good, and not through a life in asceticism or when facing the challenges of Life runs away.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The world has suffered from the one-sidedness of many other religions and ideologies. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some have emphasized the spiritual side of life, but ignored the material and worldly aspects. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">They viewed the world as an illusion, a deception and a trap. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Other materialistic ideologies, on the other hand, have totally neglected the spiritual and moral side of life and have given it up as invented and imagined.These two attitudes have led to disasters because they robbed humanity of peace, contentment and tranquility. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Even today the balance is shifted in one direction or the other. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The French scientist Dr. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">De Brogbi correctly states:<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cThe danger that comes from a civilization that is too attached to material things is society itself; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">it is the imbalance that results when the parallel development of spiritual life fails to strike the necessary balance. \u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Christianity was wrong in one extreme, whereas modern civilizations of both variants, that of secular capitalist democracy and that of Marxist socialism, were wrong in the other. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">According to Lord Snell:<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cWe have a well-proportioned outer structure, but we have neglected the indispensable need for inner order. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We carefully designed, decorated and cleaned the outside of the cup, but the inside was full of blackmail and excess, we used our advanced knowledge and skills to manage the body, but we impoverished the mind. \u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam aims to strike a balance between these two aspects of life &#8211; the material and the spiritual. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">He says that everything in this world is available to man, but man was created to serve a higher purpose: to establish a moral and just order that does God&#8217;s will. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">His teachings take care of the spiritual as well as the transitory needs of man. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam commands man to purify his soul and reshape his everyday life &#8211; both that of the individual and that of the community &#8211; and to establish a superiority of the right over power and virtue over sin. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So Islam stands for the middle ground and the goal of producing a righteous person in the service of a just society.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam, a complete way of life <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam is not a religion in the usual and twisted sense, because it focuses not only on the private sphere. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is a complete way of life and is present in every area of \u200b\u200bhuman existence. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam provides guidance for all aspects of life &#8211; individually and socially, materially and morally, economically and politically, legally and culturally, nationally and internationally. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Quran calls on people to accept Islam without reservation and to follow God&#8217;s guidance in all areas of life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It was indeed a fateful day when the concept of religion was limited to people&#8217;s private lives and their social and cultural roles were reduced to nothing, as has happened in this century. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">No other factor was probably more involved in the weakening of religion in modern times than its retirement into the private sphere. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the words of a modern philosopher: &#8222;Religion asks us to separate God&#8217;s affairs from those of Caesar. Such a critical separation between the two means to humiliate both the worldly and the sacred &#8230; That religion is of little value if conscience its supporters are not worried when the clouds of war rise above all of us and industrial conflicts affect social peace.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam completely rejects this idea of \u200b\u200breligion and clearly states that its goal is the purification of the soul and the reorganization and reconstruction of society. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As we can read in the Quran: <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cTruly, We sent Our messengers with clear evidence and sent down the book and the Libra with them so that people may practice justice. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And we created the iron, in which (force to) violent war is as well as in many uses for mankind, so that God designates those who assist Him and His Messenger, albeit unseen. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Verily, God is Almighty, Exalted. \u201d <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(Quran 57: 25) <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">God also says:<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cThe decision is only up to God. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">He commanded to worship Him alone. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">That&#8217;s the right belief, but most people don&#8217;t know it. \u201d <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(Quran 12:40) <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Even a superficial study of the teachings of Islam shows that it is an all-encompassing way of life and leaves no area of \u200b\u200bhuman existence to the powers of evil. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(part 2 of 2) <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Balance between Individual and Society <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Another unique property of Islam is that it strikes a balance between the individual and society. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">He takes into account the individual personality of the human being and considers each individual responsible before God. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Prophet, God&#8217;s blessings and peace be upon him, said:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cEach of you is a shepherd and is responsible for what is under your care. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The leader is the shepherd for his subordinates and he is responsible for them;

<\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">so you are all shepherds and responsible for your charges and the things that are under your care. \u201d <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(Sahieh Al-Bukhari, Sahieh Muslim)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam also guarantees the basic rights of the individual and does not allow anyone to interfere. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It makes the correct development of the personality of the human being a main goal of education. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">He does not support the view that people have to give up their individuality in society or the state.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In Islam, all people are the same, regardless of their color, language, race or nationality. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It addresses the consciousness of humanity and banishes all false barriers of race, position and wealth. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">One cannot deny the fact that such barriers have always existed and still exist today in the so-called enlightened age. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam removes all these obstacles and announces the ideal of all humanity as the family of God.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam is international in its outlook and rapprochement and does not allow for restrictions or distinctions in skin color, descent, blood or territory as was the case before the appearance of Muhammad. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Unfortunately, these prejudices persist in different ways even in this modern age. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam wants to unite the entire human race under one banner. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In a world torn apart by national rivalries and quarrels, Islam presents its message of life and hope and of a glorious future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Historian AJ Toynbee has made some interesting observations on this. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In &#8222;Civilization on Trial&#8220; he writes: &#8222;Two well-known sources of danger &#8211; a psychological and a material one &#8211; in the present relations of this world bourgeois proletariat, ie (westernized humanity) with the dominant element in our modern one Western society is racial awareness and alcohol, and in the fight against each of these evils the Islamic spirit has to do a service that could prove if it were believed to be of high moral and social value.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The elimination of racial awareness among Muslims is one of the most prominent moral achievements of Islam, and in our contemporary world there is a screaming need for the proclamation of this Islamic value &#8230; It is conceivable that the spirit of Islam could be the appropriate reinforcement that it is Matters in favor of tolerance and peace decide.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As for the evil of alcohol, it worst affects the primitive populations in tropical regions that have opened up to Western companies. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The fact is that even the best statesman preventive measures imposed by an external authority have proven ineligible to free a society from social virtue as long as there is no desire for liberation and no will to do so to implement a voluntary action, which in turn is awakened in the hearts of the people concerned. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Now western administrators, in any case those of &#8222;Anglo-Saxon&#8220; origin, are spiritually isolated from their &#8222;innate&#8220; proteges by their physical &#8222;color barrier&#8220; that stimulates their racial awareness; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">the reversal of souls is a task <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">that exceeds their capabilities; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">and at this point Islam could play an important role.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In these recently and quickly developed tropical territories, western civilization has produced an economic and political space and, in the same breath, a social and spiritual emptiness. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So here, in view of the future, we can see two valuable influences that Islam can exert on the cosmopolitan proletariat of a western society that has spanned the world and captured all of humanity, while we talk about the possible future The participation of Islam in new manifestations of religion may only speculate. \u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Persistence and change<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The elements of permanence and change coexist in human society and culture and will remain so. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Different ideologies and cultural systems made a huge mistake by leaning too much on one side or the other of the Libra. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Too much emphasis on constancy makes the system rigid and deprives it of flexibility and progress, whereas a lack of enduring values \u200b\u200band unchangeable elements creates moral relativism, shapelessness and anarchy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What is needed is a balance between the two &#8211; a system that simultaneously fulfills the desire for permanence and that for variability. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">An American judge, Mr. Justice Cardozo, rightly stated that &#8222;the greatest need of our time is for a philosophy that balances the conflicting demands for stability and progress and provides a principle of growth.&#8220; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam presents an ideology that fulfills the demands for stability as well as for progress.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Deeper reflection reveals that life itself contains the elements of constancy and change &#8211; it is neither so rigid and inflexible that it does not allow for any change in detail, nor is it so flexible and fluid that even its characteristic features do not have their own constant Have characteristics. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This becomes clear when one observes the process of physiological changes in the human body, because every tissue of the body changes many times in the course of a person&#8217;s life, although the person always remains the same. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The leaves, flowers and fruits of a tree change, but its character remains unchanged. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is a law of life that the elements of permanence and change must coexist in a harmonious balance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Only such a system of life that can provide these two elements is able to fulfill all the desires of human nature and all the needs of human society. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The basic problems of life remain the same at all times and climates, but the ways and means to solve them and the ways of dealing with the phenomena are subject to change over time. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Islam focuses on a new perspective on this problem and tries to solve it in a realistic way.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Quran and Sunnah contain constant guidance from the Lord of the Worlds. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This guidance comes from God, who is not subject to the limits of time and space, and therefore the principles of individual and social behavior that He has revealed are based on reality and they are eternal. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But God has only revealed broad principles and has given man the freedom to apply them in every age appropriately according to the spirit and conditions of the time. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Through this Ijtihad (intellectual effort to reach the truth), people of every age try to fulfill the divine guidance and apply it to the problems of their time. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So the basic guidance is constant, <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">while the method of its application can change in accordance with the requirements of the time. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For this reason, Islam always remains fresh and modern like the morning.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Complete transmission of the preserved teachings<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Finally, there is the fact that the teachings of Islam have been preserved in their original form. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The result of this is that God&#8217;s guidance is available without any change. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Quran is the revealed book and word of God that has existed for fourteen hundred years. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And it is still available in its original version. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Detailed accounts of the Prophet&#8217;s life and teachings are available in their pristine purity. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There was not a single change in this unique historical report. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The statements and the entire tradition of the life of the Prophet were reported with unprecedented precision and credibility in the works of the Hadith and the Sirah (biography of the Prophet). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Even a significant number of non-Muslim critics have admitted this fact.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">These are some of the unique characteristics of Islam that distinguish it as a religion for the people of today and tomorrow. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">These aspects have attracted many people in the past and in the present and have made them testify that Islam is the religion of truth and the right way for mankind. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There is no doubt that these aspects will continue to attract even more people in the future. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">People with pure hearts and solicitous efforts for the truth will keep saying: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cI testify that no one is worthy of worship except God, that He is the One Who shares His rule with no one, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and is prophet. &#8220;
