WHAT IS ISLAM
(M.N.Khalid Major, Islamabad)
The system of “ALLAH”
"Islam/Submission" has been taught to us through ALLAH
and His messenger and is fully outlined in the final “Book
of ALLAH” (Al-Kitaab) which was revealed centuries ago...
“Book of ALLAH” claims legitimacy for itself
and within itself, allowing NO room for self-made priests, or religious leaders,
who have distorted and misquoted the “Book of ALLAH”
to give themselves authority and partnership with the Almighty...
أَفَغَيْرَ اللّهِ أَبْتَغِي حَكَمًا وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ إِلَيْكُمُ
الْكِتَابَ مُفَصَّلاً وَالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ
مُنَزَّلٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ
“'Shall I seek other than ALLAH as a judge when He has
sent down to you the Book fully detailed?'” Those to whom We have given
the Book know it is sent down from your Lord with truth; so do not be of those
who have doubt." ( 6:114 )
قُلْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَكْبَرُ شَهَادَةً قُلِ اللّهُ شَهِيدٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ
وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ أَئِنَّكُمْ
لَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ مَعَ اللّهِ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى قُل لاَّ أَشْهَدُ قُلْ إِنَّمَا
هُوَ إِلَـهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَإِنَّنِي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ
"Say: 'Which is the greatest testimony?' Say: 'ALLAH is
witness between me and you, and He has inspired to me this “Al Qur'an”
that I may warn you with it, whatever is taught (to you about non-testimonial),
Can ye possibly bear witness that besides Allah there is another Allah?" Say:
"Nay! I cannot bear witness!" Say: "But in truth He is the one Allah, and I
truly am innocent of joining others with Him (by changing His verdicts)." (6:19)
وَلَقَدْ جِئْنَاهُم بِكِتَابٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ عَلَى عِلْمٍ هُدًى وَرَحْمَةً
لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
"And We
have come to them with a Book which We have detailed with knowledge; a
guide and a mercy to those who believe." (7:52)
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ
بِمَا أَرَاكَ اللّهُ وَلاَ تَكُن لِّلْخَآئِنِينَ خَصِيمًا
"We have revealed to you the Book with truth that you may
judge between the people by that which “ALLAH” has shown you, and
do not be an advocate for the treacherous. " (4:105)
وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ
وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَى هَـؤُلاَءِ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ
تِبْيَانًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَى لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ
"And the Day We send to every nation a witness against
them from themselves, and We have brought you as a witness against these. And We
have sent down to you the Book as a clarification for all things, and a guide
and mercy and good tidings to those who have surrendered." (16:89)
وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ
مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُهَيْمِنًا عَلَيْهِ فَاحْكُم بَيْنَهُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ
وَلاَ تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ عَمَّا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ لِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا
مِنكُمْ شِرْعَةً وَمِنْهَاجًا وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً
وَلَـكِن لِّيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِي مَآ آتَاكُم فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرَاتِ إِلَى اللهِ
مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِيعًا فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ
"And We have sent down to you “The Book” with
truth, authenticating what is present of “The Book” and superseding it.
So judge between them by what “ALLAH” has sent down, and do not
follow their desires from what has come to you of the truth. For each of you We
have made laws, and a structure; and had “ALLAH” willed, He would have
made you all one nation, but He tests you with what He has given you; so strive
to do good. To “ALLAH” you will return all of you, and He will inform you
regarding that in which you dispute." (5:48)
