Islam, The Only Panacea For Mankind, The Final Part!

Hello,

Let's complete this topic today.

In the realm of politics, the egalitarian nature of Islam requires major

reforms in the way democracy are practiced in society today. As it stands,

the existing democracy is elitist and lopsided in favor of the wealthy,

the powerful, and the special interests. The average person almost

has no meaningful say in how things are run by the elite. this state

of affairs falls far short of the ideal of mutual consultation in all

affairs advocated by Islam.

In the realm of economics, capitalism left unregulated has a tendency

to make the rich richer and the poor poorer in a period of ten years

only the poorest fifth of the American population only got 8% poorer

while the richest fifth got 13% richer. This is the nature of capitalism,

wealth breeds more wealth, sometimes even without any effort or

creativity. Islam obliges all rich people to pay part of their wealth

annually to the poor so that the wealth gets redistributed in the

society in order to protect the poor from perpetual poverty and give

them a fair chance to compete in a world dominated

by the tyranny of capital.

The problem is we have got the theory, but we don't have

the practitioners. We have the revolution but we do not have

the revolutionaries. And as there can be no democracy without

democrats, no socialism without socialists, there also can be no

Islam without Muslims. Islam is a message that is in constant

need for messengers to deliver it to the world. Yes, the book of

God is there, the guidance of the prophet is there, the testimony

of history is there, but where are the Muslims? Where are

the messengers? Where are the revolutionaries

They effectively do not exist?

What does exist in the world today is some sort of de-Islamized

Muslims. People who call themselves Muslims but the Islam they

practice is a vague shadow of the Islam described in the magnificent

words of the Quran. Muslims of today practice an Islam without spirit,

an Islam without a message to humanity, an Islam without a mission,

an Islam without ambition... An Islam without identity.

Islam will never revolutionize the world, as it once did unless there

are true Muslims, as they once existed Muslims from the inside out,

Muslims in thought and in action, Muslims in theory and in practice,

Muslims in private and in public, Muslims in spirit, in intellect,

and in emotions.

The road to producing such Muslims is long and hard. It is perhaps

more realistic to focus on just one good first step,. This first step,

I believe, would be to raise a generation of Muslim youth who take

great pride in their great faith. A generation of young Muslims

whose identity is purely Islamic, a generation of Muslims for whom

Islam comes first and everything else, national, ethnic, racial

linguistic identity, come, at best, a distant second, a generation

that totally believes in what the great, Khalifa Omar one=ce said,

" It is only because of Isalm that we gained honor, dignity, and pride,

and if we seel it outside of Isalm, Allah will humiliate us".

Thank you very much for reading my post.
