Islam the way of life

[kugga]

I have started this thread because I think ,the most criticized religion, I would say, on this forum is my religion Islam..
It's like a game for everyone here to criticize Islam and Muslims for not even knowing the basic tenets of Islam. Most of the people here think Islam is all about rituals and Jihaad but it's not.Islam talks not only about rituals but also about science, moralities, economy etc etc. Islam is the only religion which allows questions. It asks the whole mankind to ponder upon the universe.

Allah says in Quran

“Righteousness is not only that you turn your faces towards East or
West, but it is also to believe in Allah and the Last Day and the Angels,
and the Books, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out
of love for Him, for your kin, for or phans, for the needy, for the way-
farer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast
in prayer, and practice regular charity, to fulfill the contracts which
you have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or su ering) and
adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of
truth – those who are God-conscious.”
[2:177]

There are many Ayats of Quran about science which are rarely quoted... If a Muslim is doing some wrong deed then It's not that Islam teaches that.

In the end I would say that it's the fault of Muslims Molvis which caused so much criticism on Islam because they turned Islam only to rituals, whereas Islam speaks about character building and rituals are also for chracter building.. Only rituals like Namaz, roza, hajj are not Islam, these are part of Islam but Islam is broader than all this... The most Important thing for Islam is chracter building and moral values which the world ignores.

Fulfillment of Human Needs and Individual Development

Every human being has basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter. It is a Muslim male’s duty to work to provide these needs not only for himself but also for his dependants in a dignified manner. Islam stresses upon a balanced approach towards material needs.

The Qur’an says:
“O you who believe! Do not forbid (yourselves) the
good things which Allah has made lawful for you and do not exceed the
limits; surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits.”
[5:87]

A Muslim is free to earn his living through fair and dignified means that include trade, employment, farming, industrial production, etc. Islam forbids income from sources such as cheating, stealing, gambling, interest/usury, prostitution, etc. Islam provides a moderate and balanced approach to an individual’s physical needs. Islam prohibits a person from harming his body by negligence and over-indulgence. Self-denial is strictly prohibited.
In order to sustain a healthy life-style, personal hygiene and cleanliness are made an integral part of Muslims’ daily lives. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him – PBUH) once said, “Cleanliness is
half the Faith.”

To maintain a sound mental health, importance is placed on self-contentment and on living a stress-free life-style. There is a major emphasis on adopting higher human values such as honesty, truthfulness, kindness, sincerity, generosity, modesty, decency, dignity, steadfastness, cheerfulness, and hard work.
Islam nurtures a person’s innate goodness. Muslims are taught to be servants of God answerable for their conscious actions throughout their lives. For spiritual guidance and development, Islam provides a Muslim a system of prayers and supplications – some of which are performed on a regular (daily) basis and others are left to an individual’s discretion. During prayers, Muslims express their gratitude to Allah and seek His help and guidance, in words like:

“You alone we worship and you alone we ask for help. Keep us on the right path – the
path of those on whom you have bestowed favors, not the (path) of
those who earn your anger nor of those who go astray.”
[1:5-7]

For all those who thinks such a thread should not be allowed.

Islam is the religion of most of people in Pakistan. When every one here speaks against Islam it hurts the sentiments of most people of our country. We say that Islam is the power of our defense. Our forces raises slogans like "Naaraa e Takbeer" when fighting with enemies. Islam runs through the blood of our nation and our forces. If some wants demoralize our forces by constantly criticizing there faith then there must also be a counter force in response.

As an observation..in India as we have significant minorities of all religions..on this forum, we are very sensitive of all religions..as opposed to many Pakistanis here..who display bigoted mindset..and tit for tat response the things gets real ugly.
