Reality Of Religion Islam

The real foundation of Islam is loyalty, sincerity, and ardent love for Almighty Allah and Prophet Mohammad along with following both the physical and spiritual aspects of the Prophet’s life. Contrarily, these days people focus on following only the outward aspects. If the religion was based solely on physical practices such as salat, fasts and zakat, then they would have been made obligatory right after the Companions accepted Islam. Nevertheless, it is evident that these physical worships were mandated after the Prophet migrated to Madina. Before this pivotal event, the essence of religion for the sacred Companions was only the fervent love and loyalty for their beloved Prophet. Their salat and Durood was to engross in the sacred vision of the Holy Prophet and their fasting was patience against the oppression of the infidels.

The essence of religion is that the soul becomes dominant over the desires of the physical body. It is indicated by the state when every thought and action of a person is unequivocally directed towards Allah.

Every sect has considered their creed as the true religion. Allah has promised to elevate and empower the religion, not sects and tenets.

Preaching is a part of religion.

The core of Islam is Faqr and gnosis of Allah. Conversely, the foundation of infidelity is wealth and that of heresy is infatuation with the world. Whereas, righteousness emanates from Divine love.

The crux of religion is ‘recognition and accomplishment of the human essence (soul),’ which means identification and attainment of the status of a true human being. In other words, religion is self-realization and self-control and self-control..

Religion cannot be understood unless Allah, the Creator of the religion, Himself elucidates it. Religion is implemented on the soul.

True religion encompasses all the individual, collective, national and social aspects of one’s life.

If we consider that faith can be accomplished just by worshipping in the comfort of the four walls of home then such religion was not the religion of the Holy Prophet.

Religion cannot be disseminated and imposed through power. Power can subdue physical bodies but not the hearts. Love is the only key to winning the hearts.

It is very important to invite towards the true religion; bestowing righteousness is the job of Allah. Those who remain deprived of righteousness, in fact, are not willing to seek it.

Those who saw Prophet Mohammad in the state of faith are called the Companions and the contemporaries of the sacred Companions who received education from them are known as Tabiun. The subsequent generation, educated by the Tabiun is called Tabi-Tabiun. These three groups are forgiven because the true religion i.e. the religion based on Divine vision sustained till Tabi-Tabiun. After that, it continued only in the spiritual orders being separated from the religion based on outward deeds. Those on the path of Faqr follow the religion based on Divine vision while the religious literati follow the religion based on outward deeds. Faqr is the true religion. The religion of outward deeds can be learned from the books and that of Divine vision can be attained from the perfect Fakirs. It is only through the benevolence of these perfect Fakirs that the seekers get presence in the Mohammadan Assembly where they are blessed with the privilege of seeing the sacred countenance of Prophet Mohammad and reach the station of annihilation in Allah.

Among the religious movements in Islamic history, the movement of spiritual orders has proven to be the most robust, credible, enduring and successful. This is attributed to its connection with the inward, involving the knowledge and proximity of Allah which directly influence the soul

The worst person is the one who uses religion to earn worldly gains, beware of him.
