Islam Complete System of Life from Quran & Sahi Ahadiths of Prophet Mohammed(pbuh)

Assalamualaikum Wa Rahamatullahi Wa Barkatahu (May Peace, Mercy & Blessings of

Allah Be Upon You).

Islam is Not just a religion but is a complete system of life for a mankind to
live. Islam orders us all that is good and moral and prohibits all that is evil
from it. It orders all actions which are righteous and good and prohibits all
actions that are evil and harmful.(Quran 16:90).

► Islam provides mankind with a higher system of morality that can be used by an
individual to realize his greatest potential.
► Islam purifies the soul of self-seeking egotism, tyranny, wantonness, and lack of
discipline.
► It creates God-fearing men who are devoted to their ideals, motivated by piety,
abstinence, and discipline, and unable to make any compromise with falsehood.
► It induces feelings of moral responsibility and fosters the capacity for self-
control.
► Islam generates kindness, generosity, mercy, sympathy, peace, disinterested
goodwill, scrupulous fairness, and truthfulness towards all creation in all
situations.
► It nourishes noble qualities from which only good may be expected.

The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the
word "Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in
the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama
Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named
after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus.
Islam is the true religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central
principle of Allah's "God's" religion; the total submission to the will of Allah
"God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to
the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a
"Muslim", The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of total
submission to the will of Allah. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) I in Arabia in the seventh century, but only the true
religion of Allah re-expressed in its final form.

Islam is the religion which was given to Adam(pbuh), the first man and the first
prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to
mankind. The name of God's religion lslam was not decided upon by later generations
of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final
revelation to man. In the final book of divine revelation, the Qur'aan, Allah
states the following:

"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and
have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Quran 5:3)

"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never
will It be accepted of Him" (Quran 3:85)

Just like for a man made electronic gadget we refer to the user's manual to know
how it works or for any troubleshootings or FAQs similarly the creator of all
mankind Allah has given us Islam as a complete system of life for all the various
aspects of our daily life. which includes eating, worshiping, sleeping, relieving
oneself, dress, marriage, . In short, Islam has provided guidelines and rules for
every sphere of life and society. Some of the examples which makes Islam 'The Only
Complete System of Life' to live are:

► Zakat & Sadaqah, cure for Poverty: If you want a cure of poverty, then analyze
the islamic system of zakathh and sadaqah. when the muslims applied zaakah in the
early days they were not able to find a single poor person

► Oppression: Similarly if u want a cure for oppression, Allah says: o my servants,

i have made oppression forbidden upon myself and have made it prohibited between
you so oppress not one another.

► Cure for Sexual Diseases and Adultery or Fornication: and do not approach
unlawful sexual intercourse indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way
(Quran 17:32), and prophet(pbuh) advised young men who are able to afford it to
hasten and get married inorder to close door for forbidden relations and from
having boyfriends or girlfriends.

► Cure for Intoxication(Alcohol) and Drugs: Allah says in the Quran: O you who have
believed, indeed intoxicants, gambling, stone altars and divining arros are but
defilement from work of satan so avoid it that you may be successful (Quran 5:90)

► Social Responsibilities The teachings of Islam concerning social responsibilities

are based on kindness and consideration for others. So that these broad injections
will not be ignored in specific situations, Islam stresses specific acts of
kindness and defines the responsibilities and rights that belong to various
relationships. Our first obligation is to our immediate family-parents, spouse, and
children, then to other relatives, neighbors, friends and acquaintances, orphans
and widows, the needy of the community, our fellow Muslims, our fellow human beings
and animals.

► Parents Respect and care for parents is a very important part of a Muslims
expression of faith.
Your Sustainer has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to
parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life-time, do not say
to them a word of contempt nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor and,
out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility and say: My Sustainer! Bestow
on them Your mercy, even as they cherished me in childhood. (Quran17:23-24).

► Other Relatives: And render to the relatives their due rights, as (also) to those
in need, and to the traveler; and do not squander your wealth in the manner of a
spendthrift. (Quran 7:26)

► Neighbors
The Prophet said: "He is not a believer who eats his fill when his neighbor beside
him is hungry" and "He does not believe whose neighbors are not safe from his
injurious conduct."

►Orphans: The Prophet (saws) said, I and the person who looks after an orphan and
provides for him, will be in Paradise like this," putting his index and middle
fingers together (Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.34 Narrated bySahl bin Sad, Al-Tirmidhi
Hadith 4974 Narrated by Abu Umamah).

Allah's Messenger (saws) said, The best house among the Muslims is one which
contains an orphan who is well treated, and the worst house among the Muslims is
one which contains an orphan who is badly treated (Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 4973 Narrated
by Abu Hurayrah)

Those who have responded to this call and gathered together into a community
(Ummah) are given the name "Muslim" and the singular object underlying the
formation of this community (Ummah) is that it should make an organized effort to
establish and enforce goodness and suppress and eradicate evil. The Qur'an is quite
explicit on this fact as can be seen from the following verses:

"Ye are the best for Peoples, evolved For mankind, Enjoining what is right,
Forbidding what is wrong, And believing in God. If only the People of the Book Had
faith, it were best For them: among them Are some who have faith, But most of them
Are perverted transgressors." (Qur'an, 3:1 10)

"(They are) those who, If we establish them In the land, establish Regular prayer
and give Regular charity, enjoin The right and forbid wrong: With God rests the end
(And decision) of (all) affairs." (Qur'an, 22:41)
