Vitality of Islam

Vitality of Islam

Now in the sunshine of Mohammed’s guidance no man can pretend to say he cannot attain spiritual perfection or fellowship of God nor can he plead his inability to move forward on the path of steadfast conviction, perfection of the self and purification of the morals. But, if he dose so, his failure can be attributed to his own irresoluteness or cowardice, greed material welfare or ignorance of the Divine Scripture and prophetic teachings. If a man is sincere diligent Islam can lead him to the pinnacle of virtues next only to the exalted stage of prophethood...

The sign and mark of Islam’s potentiality in this regard is demonstrated by the marvelous Book of God which is fadeless, ever-blooming and with wonders without end; as well as by the Salat, brimming with life and vigour, a sure, infallible means for attaining propinquity to God. Each of these bears out the untarnished truth of Islam. People have gone ahead with the help of these two, in every age, to attain a sublimity of spirit beyond the reach of the most wise and sapient. And their numbers have always been ever so many in Islam. These purer souls have made plain, by their own example of virtuous living and sincere love of man and God, That the followers of Islam no longer stand in need of any new guide from On High. They have been reinvigorating the Muslim society by guiding it on the path of virtue and goodness in compliance with the divine command which calls upon all the Muslims to seek the help of God through submission to Him and prayer and striving in His way.

“And strive in the path of Allah with the endeavour which is His right. He hath chosen you and hath not laid upon you in religion any hardship; The faith of your father Abraham (is yours). He hath named you Muslims of old time and in this (Scripture), that the Messenger may be a witness against you, and that ye may be witnesses against mankind. So establish worship, pay the poor-due, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting Friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper.”1

Another ingrained quality of this religion is its propensity to revolt against everything that is repugnant to its own essence and spirit. This is the inherent power of Islam which strives against forwardness and perversion hurtful to the grace and merit of human values; fights with the forces of evil, apostasy and tyranny; maintains and promotes the standard of Islamic morality; speaks out truth in the face of tyrants and kings; urges to get away from the deception of one’s own greed and passing fancy and helps to reject all vagaries of innovations and deviations from true faith even at the cost of one’s reputation, personal injury or even life. The Book of God always exhorts the believers to be steadfast on truth and justice, to depose truthfully even against their own parents and relations, to cooperate with goodness and piety and to keep away from guilt and misconduct, to strive in the way of God, to enjoin the right and to forbid the wrong, to seek the good graces of the Lord and those who love Him, to be at odds with the devil and its team-mates and to prefer the Hereafter over the world and all that it stands for. Cast in the same mould are the ahadith, the sayings and doings of the prophet, which call upon every man to keep in the right path and hold aloof from transgression and perversion; appeal to combat the sinister and the peccant with one’s hands, tongue and heart, according to one’s ability and strength; and threaten those who join hands with the enemies of God and saboteurs of true faith with chastisement. Such Traditions are very many and well-known and they have always given heart to reformers, in every age and at every critical juncture of the history of Islam, to fight to the last drop of their blood for the preservation of Islamic principles.
