Islam :missing Link - nawaz - 12-11-2004
Dear All
Pause and reflect, there are numerous questions that start puzzling
human mind right from the moment the human babe draws upon the dawn of
consciousness – what are the material things, life, consciousness and
the allied matters? What are Intuition, Revelation about Etakaaf,
Zakaat, Human Personality? What is the prayer (Namaz) and how does it
differ from Salaat? What is the Destiny of Man? Are Good and Evil
absolute? Is there any suprasensuous source of knowledge for human
counseling and directing? What is the political system of Quran that
has been hurled into the trashcan of history and how does it help
mould the human life today? What are the injunctions of fasting? What
is the purpose of Hajj in the social order of Islam? What does the
Quran say of alms and charity? And how does the Quran solve today's
social and marriage problems?
In more recent times, fresh problems changing the mores and cores of
life have cropped up – race, gambling, betting – its various forms –
drinking, mix of wine with medicine, music, lottery, historical
interpretations and Islam, pornography, indecency, age, - its
increasing and decreasing – economic system producing a mishmash of
confusion, and cunnings of human reason, trepidation of the educated
young – terrorism and escape – least measures to stymie ones
ambitions, avalanche of funds to be accumulated, offering baubles and
trinkets to make unlawful wide open and the like many more. Finally
what is wrong with our History – the History of Islam, the
achievements made during the First Era of Islam, the conspiracies of
the foreign alliance against Islam, the significance of National
Monuments? What is the future of Muslim Nationalism? Where will the
romping with Deen, the System of Islam, lead us to in the comity of
nations? What will come out of the pestilence – pernicious, evil
influence – of elections? Why is Revelation the need of the West? And
what its future is going to be?
The sole aim of projecting this vision is that the ultimate
non-material basis of all life is eternal and reveals itself in
variety and change.A society based on such a concept of Reality must
reconcile, in its life,the categories of permanence and change.It must
possess absolute principles to regulate its collective life.But
absolute principles when they are understood to exclude all
possibilities of change tend to immobilize what is essentially mobile
in its nature.The failure of the Europe in political and social
sciences illustrates the former principle;the immobility of Islam
during the last five hundred years illustrates the latter.These
underlined facts and figures,all of them need to be heeded, if we
start pondering on these lines now! and evolve ourselves in its true
essence then we can regain our lost character, otherwise what our
status quo remain same even after 5 million years.
