ISLAM IS TRUE FREEDOM - part 1
Abu Jaad Mikal Bin Yusuf
Of the cultural and habitual activities of social life and the
customs of people in general, there are very few things that Islam
has prohibited, compared to all of the good and beneficial things
which we have been allowed to eat, drink, wear and participate in.
Allah has permitted everything which is good and wholesome, and has
forbidden only those things which would bring us harm. And even though
sometimes we may not perceive the harm in something, we must admit that
The Creator knows His creation better than we know ourselves. As The
Almighty said in His Glorious Qur’aan: “You may love a thing that is
not
good for you, and you may dislike a thing that is good for you.”
[Al-Baqarah 216]
The point is, Islam is not as the proponents of mind control and human
exploitation would have you believe,restrictive and prohibitive,
taking all the fun out of life. This is their deception in an effort
to maintain their position of influence in worldly affairs.
Oftentimes, the oppressive elements who wish to have control over
society,
paint a false picture of Islam because they are afraid of losing their
influence over the people at large.
They realize that when people accept Islam as the source of guidance
and
influence in their lives,submitting only to the will of the Creator,
that these individuals free themselves from subservience to any human
being and they refuse to be oppressed, exploited or dictated to by
those who desire misguidance over guidance, and prefer falsehood to
truth.
