This title of this report may seem to be paradoxical getting into account the fact that I am a Muslim, a member of the Islamic community, and am component of a religion. Even so, let me say I am not impressed with faith as it is presently comprehended by most folks in the world. In the system of this creating, I wish to check out this bold assertion that all religions of this world have unsuccessful.
Ahead of I delve into the topic subject of this write-up, I must existing my understanding of the Islamic religion.
Islam is an Arabic term which means submission to the will of God. Islam as I understand it is a way of life revolving around the concepts of faith, charity, prayer, fasting and pilgrimage(physically and spiritually). I understand it as a way of cultivating kinds personal connection with the Creator or ALLAH. Consequently, though I arrive below the banner of a world’s religion, I purpose by the common rules of religion and stay away from the dogmatism and sectarianism.
Am I including Islam in my denouncement of religions failure? Completely! I believe, in essence, the concepts of faith are excellent and great for all of humanity, nonetheless the way religion has been presented to humanity has been much more a slave generating device than a liberating force. I feel in the truth of Almighty God and the phrase that was unveiled to the prophets had been completely right in their first kind.
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan on Oct 19th 2008 spoke of this spiritual failure at the determination of the flagship Mosque of the Country of Islam, Mosque Maryam.
“All of the scriptures of the Torah, Injil (Gospel) and Qur’an chat about Adam. Did God give him the way? We contact it “faith,” but that is man’s creation. We question every other “What is your faith? What is your religion? What is your religion?” No! We need to be inquiring “What is the character in which God developed you?” That is the way. The actual faith of God is this: “Obey My instructions.” That is the correct way, but most males know not…. May I humbly say religion, as it is being preached and practiced, is a failure. Not some religions-all of them.”
It was the misrepresentation of faith by a father that brought on a young Karl Marx to turn into disillusioned with faith and to formulate the notion that “Religion is the opiate of the masses.” It is equivalent disillusionment with religion that is making a backlash anti-faith movement nowadays.
What is faith and how has faith unsuccessful the human being?
” progressive christianity of Latin religio are obscure. It is normally accepted to derive from ligare “bind, link” most likely from a prefixed re-ligare, i.e. re (once again) + ligare or “to reconnect.” This interpretation is favoured by modern students” (Religion partial definition from Wikipedia)
Having the earlier mentioned definition into account it can be said that religion is meant to reconnect us to our Creator. The scriptures of the Bible and Qur’an educate that the human becoming was developed in the image and likeness of God and of his essence.
If we scan the life of the prophets and non secular gentlemen of the Bible, we do not locate them prescribing to any particular spiritual doctrine by identify. From Adam, the meant 1st male, to Jesus there is no faith named for the divine non secular lecturers. However, we find comparable concepts practiced by all of the prophets that unite them in oneness. These basic principle are a belief in the One particular God, prayer, charity, service to humanity, battle against private weak spot and occasional fasting.
This is the way the religion of Islam has been taught to me by my academics The Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad and The Hon. Louis Farrakhan. This comprehension of the universality of religion allows me to hear reality whether or not it is introduced in the Church, Mosque, Temple or from a Muslim, Christian, Jew, agnostic.
Mustafaa Muhammad is an “African American” who is a follower of the Islamic faith. By means of independent religious reports developed an ecumenical see of the world’s religions and the people of God. And although he is devoted to Islam as his religion he is at house in the Church(or other spiritual establishments) as he is in the Mosque.
He has been featured on the Radio, Newspapers, community talking activities and at Mosques/Churches telling his story and offering his understanding of Almighty God’s prepare for salvation.
