ISL201 Assignment No 1 Solution
Given Scenario:
An Islamic society well portrays the bases of principal of Beliefs and righteous conduct and practice of these two principles governs the Islamic society as
well. An Ideal Muslim depicts Islamic values through his conduct in practical life and it also forms the very basis of his belief as a Muslim. Holy Quran and
Holy Sunnah serve as a role model for Muslims. Islamic society also constitutes hundreds of mosques, Islamic centers and organizations. But all these sources
of spiritualism seem to be ineffective in moral characters of Muslims.
Given Question:
You are to point out what is missing and becoming a cause of this downfall in the Beliefs and values of Islamic society and suggest how we can overcome these
issues.
Answer: from my point of view i think the missing thing is taqwaa in Muslims. Because; if we fear from Allah then every thing that we do will be according to
him and his Prophet (S.A.W.W). The missing thing is taqwaa. Because if we do not fear from (Allah) then whatever we do it will be ineffective in moral.Taqwa
means: to cleanse or purify the heart and the soul. Some Aayaat in Sort ush-Shams in which Allah says proves this fact: " By the sun and its rising sunshine,
and by the moon when it comes after the sun, and by the day when it brightens, it, and by the night when it enshrouds it, and by the heaven and as He made
it, and by the earth and as he extended (outspread) it, and by the soul and as He shaped it, then He inspired it understanding of licentiousness and warding
off! Verily prospered he who purified it, and failed he who threw it into dust [91:1-10] Among the mission of Prophet (SAAW) Allah sent him with the command
to purify the souls of the Muslim in particular and of mankind in general. Before that they had been lying in manifest forgetfulness.” (62-2) In this ayah
the word hikmah is often translated as wisdom. Imam Shafi, one of the greatest scholars of Islam, said that when Allah mentions Hikmah in the Quran it refers
to the Sunnah of Prophet (SAAW) in addition of this ayah we see that Prophet (SAAW) was sent with the three tasks:
1) To teach the Qur’an.
2) To teach the Sunnah.
3) To show the means of purifying the soul.
This purification is obtained by doing the proper acts of 'ibaadah and by avoiding sins and disobedience.
