loss.
In this case, the laws of men replace religious laws and there will be
no need for religion. But with little attention and deliberation on Islamic
commandments and regulations, the opposite of this is proved, for Islam
has not been concerned only with praying to and praising Allah, rather
it has enacted comprehensive instructions and specific regulations for
all individual and social positions of man. Islam has considered the vast
world of humanity in an astonishing manner and has enacted suitable regulations
in accordance with man's individual and social actions and otherwise. Finally,
Islam has provided and guaranteed the happiness and prosperity of the members
of social community in every respect and to the maximum extent possible.
Every just person acknowledges that the laws sprang from man's limited
thoughts and knowledge cannot equal those of religion. This power of the
Almighty Allah has described the religion of Islam in the Holy Quran. As
examples, we will cite few verses here:
"Surely
the (true) religion with Allah is Islam, and those to whom the Book had
been given did not show opposition but after knowledge had come to them,
out of envy among themselves; and whoever disbelieves in the communications
of Allah then surely Allah is quick in reckoning (3:19)."
The
religion towards which all prophets have invited people consists of theism
and submission to Allah's orders. Though the religious scholars specified
right through wrong, they did not accept what was rightful due to their
prejudice and animosity. Each scholar adopted a specific course of action;
as a result, different religions came into existence on earth. In fact,
this category of people did not believe in the Divine verses. Allah will
soon retribute their deeds.
"And
whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from
him, and in the Hereafter he shall be one of the losers (3:85)."
"0
you who believe! enter into submission one and all, and do not follow the
footsteps of Shaytan (satan); surely he is your open enemy (2:208)."
