What Is Islam As A Religion Near To You ?

Islam is a bright religion that provides us actually the true light of knowledge in all the aspects of life. There are some controversial concepts related to the human development in the Muslim society such as the issue of woman and her education, her working in the society, the issue of polygamy, the issue of inheritance, Islamic attitude towards arts such as music, sculpture, paining., etc. all these have been dealt with by scholars at previous periods in Islamic history and have settled according to the main principles of Islam. Nevertheless controversy has erupted once more due to ignorance, malpractices, and local traditions in many Muslim countries. Thus a dynamic interpretation according to the main principles of Islam and in accordance with the changing circumstances is a necessity and a must.

The Muslims, particularly scholars and ulema, should live in a real world and not in an ivory tower or in a world of their own or of their creation/ if such realistic approach prevails, which if fully called for by the spirit of Islam, then Muslim countries could survive and flourish. In case of the domination of rigid ideas, extreme groups or myopic approach, then the Muslim world is geared towards a very tough period of its history.

As a religion Islam is a complete code of life. It is the complete way about how to live and lead a life as an individual and as a community.
