Re: Do you think
Islam is an idea
In different contexts any of one these are true … Islam an idea is that Islam means to submit to Allah’s Will, Islam as the natural order is when we follow what we were designed to follow. Islam as a madhab is when we talk about the 5 pillars of Islam and what it means to enjoin those pillars and Islam as a way of life is that it is involved in our civil and stately affairs to encourage good and discourage evil in others … by way of the fear of penalties for crimes and by way of charity distribution to mitigate poverty related injustices … and ofcourse moral media. This aspect which is known as Shari’ah is the state creating a fertile environment for people to be able to undertaken their 5 pillars without obstacle.
Islam can never be a way of life until our most basic needs are attached to our worship …
Dont western Non Muslim societies also discourage evil and encourage good by way of of fear of of penalties? And isnt Social Security and welfare also a way to mitigate poverty related injustices? Would you say that England/US then are states that promote an Islamic way of life?
