Believes & Behaviors 

 

The Purpose of Life: A Muslim believes that the purpose of life is to worship Allah.  Worshipping Allah does not mean we spend our entire lives in constant seclusion and absolute meditation. To worship Allah is to live life according to His commands, not to run away from it.  To worship Allah is to know Him, to love Him, to obey His commands, to enforce His laws in every aspect of life, to serve His cause by doing right and shunning evil and to be just to Him, to ourselves and to our fellow human beings.

 

 

 

Status of Human Being: A Muslim believes that human being enjoys an especially high ranking status in the hierarchy of all known creatures. Man occupies this distinguished position because he alone is gifted with rational faculties and spiritual aspirations as well as powers of action. Man is not a condemned race from birth to death, but a dignified being potentially capable of good and noble achievements.

 

 

 

Acceptance of Faith: A Muslim believes that faith is not complete when it is followed blindly or accepted unquestioningly. Man must build his faith on well-grounded convictions beyond any reasonable doubt and above uncertainty.  Islam insures freedom to believe and forbids compulsion in religion (one of the oldest synagogues and one of the oldest churches in the worlds is in Muslim countries).

 

 

 

Salvation: A Muslim believes that man must work out his salvation through the guidance of Allah.  No one can act on behalf of another or intercede between him and Allah. In order to obtain salvation, a person must combine faith and action, belief and practice. Faith without doing good deeds is as insufficient as doing good deeds without faith.

 

 

Muslims are one Nation: For the greater human unity Islam rejects human division on the basis of race, color, language or region. Because people are created equal in front of the Law of God and difference between them, in the eyes of God, only depends on piety and righteousness. According to Islamic ideology the world is divided into two major parts i.e. Muslims and Non-Muslims. 

In Islamic teachings all the Muslims of the world are brothers to one another and are one nation irrespective to race, language, color or region. Therefore all the Muslim countries/states/populace are considered as sovereign administrative units of  a single nation. Their pain and gain are common and as Muslims they are supposed to help one another in their hard times.

 

 

State and Religion: Muslims believe that Islam is a total and a complete way of life. It encompasses all aspects of life. As such, the teachings of Islam do not separate religion from  politics. As a matter of fact, state and religion are under the obedience of Allah through the teachings of Islam. Hence, economic and social transactions, as well as educational and political systems are also part of the teachings of Islam.
