MAN AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF TEST
Preface
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Translation: "Praise be to God Who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found Guidance, had it not been for the Guidance of God." (7:43 Quran) In other words: We could not have found the way, had Exalted He not guided us to the straight path.
Preface
One among the reasons for backwardness of the Islamic world is the weakness of belief and the shaken theory of the believers' ideologies concerning Almighty God and the Creator of all. To speak more clearly, it won't be exaggeration if I said that the lack of this wealth is the main cause of backwardness for the Islamic and humanity world. Since, you know that Man is actually created and has been brought to here to be tried in these testing scenes in order for him to have the chance of orienting oneself towards one of the two directions, Artificer or artifacts, or Creator or creature.
According to this criterion, all followers of the intact Qur'an of Islam or the students of the Militant1 Institute of the Generous and Most Merciful God are and were obliged to: "You are the best of communities by the mere distinction that you enjoin people to right conduct and forbid indecency."2 Of course, by having a perfect agenda such as Quran, the believers should have made round the clock efforts to offer to human and humanity the sound guidance of humanity based on the worldwide spreading of Monotheism. Unfortunately, this did not happen.
Therefore, the Prophet Muhammad pbuh has stated:
"The active scholars of my followers are alike the prophets of the Children-of-Israel."3
By perceiving this noble position, how and through what ways can we acquire the essential superiority?
Yes! The truths being put in Quran and the Hadith of the Messenger, peace be upon him, are - metaphorically speaking, as natural resources which are put to our access. Hereby, the nobility of this nation's scholars is clearly proven that they are as the pharmacists according to their contemporary people's condition. These scholars, after they have diagnosed and analyzed the corresponding diseases, are supposed to prepare the beneficial and vigorous medicines on the basis of the verses of the Holy Quran and the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Where those medicines should not only be beneficial to the soundness of the society, but it should not create any fraction in the Islamic unity either.
Unfortunately, the pharmacists (…) picked up limited names of few medicines and those in the Arabic language where the students needed a while to store the translations in their memories. This has been their constant engagement and cannot research any further.
Having perceived this reality, it is really obvious that there is no chance left for them for diagnosing the social diseases and for making up the corresponding medicines from the pharmacy. Namely, the Sunnis from the Holy Quran and Sihah Sitta4 and the Jafarees from the Holy Quran and the Rasail-ul-Shee'a-fee-Masa'il-ul-Shari'ya have derived a few limited prescriptions, and have enforced them. Namely, they have derived the five hundred verses and similarly the corresponding ones from the Hadith for organizing the worshiping laws under the name of Islamic Jurisprudence5. The rest of 6166 verses have been neglected. Just for the purpose of saving the thickness and the apparent volume of the Qur'an and for having ulterior motives, they did not have the courage of deriving other verses and the corresponding Hadith.
In order to clarify a part of the basis of the disease which we just mentioned, and to determine a stable orientation achieved via fortifying of faith, as how it is established was identified, hereby, we draw your attention to an aspect of expressing the belief in Almighty God and to religion. On the other hand, we will, with the help of Glorious God, briefly exemplify the circumstances of most Muslims one by one. The judgment is yours, whether with such moral, the path of advancement and salvation would be available to this nation? I am sure that each knowledgeable person right after studying will agree with us and say No, No, Never!
1. The believers believe that Glorious God is present and watching our actions and deeds. Pay attention that the thief, adulterer or the bribe taker and other similar transgressors to the property and honor of people, do not commit themselves to that unlawful action in presence of a child or a stranger, they are scared or feel ashamed. From Glorious God Who is Present and Watchful, however, they are not scared nor feel ashamed. Could this be called as the truth for the confession to Almighty God's Presence in the hearts? No never.
2. Muslims claim to love Glorious God more than anything else. Whereas, for the sake of their spouses' love and the love of their children, and for corrupt sensual and egoistic desires, they struggle like the worms in the dirt. They manage to do the equivalent work of 48 hours in 24 hours, for the purpose of fulfilling the satisfaction of their fictitious beloved ones. But, for the sake of Almighty God and the acquisition of His Almighty's happiness and the uplifting of God's word they are not busy even a few limited hours in 24 hours. Never mind they would accept any difficulty on themselves, on their property or their lives, for the sake of His Almighty's Happiness.
This is the best example for the shortage of affection to Almighty God as opposed to the prevalence of the affection with other than Almighty God, as you clearly see and have seen. Would the believers not be put with the moral as such, really in the category of: "Then do not set up similitudes and likenesses unto Almighty God in everything in terms of position"6 The answer is positive.
3. Muslims say: we have fear of Almighty God. But, they do not seem to have the one tenth or even one hundredth fears from Almighty God as they have from the people of authority and power, in case of events as mentioned above.
Are these facts conveying the meaning of proof for determination of the orientation towards Almighty God or the soundness of belief in His Holiness Supreme Being? No Never. Now the question is as how to acquire this wealth? It is proper question. In reply, we should say: Should we, pay as much attention for the search of His Holiness Supreme Being as we put the efforts for the acquisition of material things, this is an indication that, we have in reality become true believers.
Fortunately, the Epistles and the books of the University of Isigh into Allah, which are the extract of the explicit secrets of the intact Quran of Islam, are undertaking, with the help of Almighty Evolver, of this task to establish this wealth in the heart and brain, with His Almighty's Grace and Generosity without hard spiritual work or mortification of Ego.
With His Favor and Grace, the Generous!
"The temple is in good shape due to our ruined state
The non-believers are due to our fragmentation
Islam is faultless on its own
Any fault is embedded in our way of practicing."
Then let us improve and correct our Muslim life starting from belief which is the key requirement of faith, bearing witness verbally and acknowledging by heart.
And triumph comes from God!
