Islam Is Fundamental Religion

 

Actual Religion – Islam (L-371)

إِنَّ الدّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الإِسلامُ ۗ 19a.

19a.  ‘Innad-Diina  ‘indAllaahil-  ‘Islaam.

19a.  Religion with God is Islam.

‘Al- ‘Islaam – (believing in the religion of God, obedience), literal meaning of Islam is ‘to deliver oneself over’. On account of this respect, this religion is called Islam, because a Muslim affirms to bow his neck before the orders of God and entrusts himself completely to One Most High God, as though Islam is the name of “Accepting” and Muslim-hood (Mussulmani) as “Obedience”.

Diinun – This word has two meanings,

• Retaliation

• Religion

It means the method of meditation and actions which is foundation for consideration and deeds of a person and nation. The Way of life which God has liked for His servants (Human beings), that is Islam, i.e. subjection and obedience, perfect and last form of which has been clarified in the world by Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

In fact, all former Prophets (Peace be upon them) brought the same religion named Islam. But in this regard which perfect in all respect, collective and universal commands and guidelines have been delivered by the last Messenger of God (ﷺ), those have preference in many ways from ancient religious laws. Therefore, these were called with the name of Islam in a special color. However, it has been proclaimed in this verse before specially Christians of Syria (Najraan) and commonly before the entire world that religion is only the name of one thing, that is, the person should surrender himself to God wholeheartedly, and whatever order is delivered by Him, he should obey it without any hesitation.

Now those people who say that Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon him) is son of God (Let’s flee to God), who eat pork, slaughter the Prophets (Peace be upon them), try to remove the true religion despite they have received the good news from Prophets Moses and Jesus (Peace be upon them), and who envy the true Prophet (ﷺ), Have these people any right to say themselves followers of the religion of Abraham (Peace be upon him)?

For perfect example; good attitude of Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him), auspicious lives of Prophet Jesus and Moses (Peace be upon them) and in the last, very sacred life of the last Messenger (ﷺ) are complete role models for the mankind. Banishment of Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him), due to opposing Nimrud, leaving alone his innocent child (Ishmael) and wife (Peace be upon them) in the wilderness and waterless valley; for pleasure of God, getting ready to sacrifice his (Peace be upon them) son Ishmael in the Way of God. All these things enlighten his (Peace be upon him) activeness for pleasure of God.

Enduring torture of enemies of God by the Messenger of Islam (ﷺ), departure from his native land Makkah, fighting in the Path of God, clarify perfect subjection and obedience. These are the great and holy persons, who are imitable for human beings in all respects and to follow them is called Islam and obedience. May God make us able to do so. Amen.
