Islam : A Missing Link ?

Pause and reflect, there are numerous questions that start puzzling human mind right from the moment the human babe draws upon the dawn of consciousness – what are the material things, life, consciousness and the allied matters. What are Intuition, Revelation about Etakaaf, Zakat, Human Personality. What is the prayer (Namaz) and how does it differ from Salaat. What is the Destiny of Man. Are Good and Evil absolute. Is there any supersensuous source of knowledge for human counseling and directing. What is the political system of Quran that has been hurled into the trashcan of history and how does it help mould the human life today. What are the injunctions of fasting? What is the purpose of Hajj in the social order of Islam. What does the Quran say of alms and charity? And how does the Quran solve today's social and marriage problems.

In more recent times, fresh problems changing the mores and cores of  life have cropped up – race, gambling, betting – its various forms – drinking, mix of wine with medicine, music, lottery, historical, interpretations and Islam, pornography, indecency, age, - its increasing and decreasing – economic system producing a mishmash of confusion, and cunnings of human reason, trepidation of the educated young – terrorism and escape – least measures to stymie ones ambitions, avalanche of funds to be accumulated, offering baubles and trinkets to make unlawful wide open and the like many more. Finally what is wrong with our History – the History of Islam, the achievements made during the First Era of Islam, the conspiracies of the foreign alliance against Islam, the significance of National Monuments? What is the future of Muslim Nationalism? Where will the romping with Deen, the System of Islam, lead us to in the comity of nations? What will come out of the pestilence – pernicious, evil influence – of elections? Why is Revelation the need of the West? And what its future is going to be.

The sole aim of projecting this vision is that the ultimate non-material basis of all life is eternal and reveals itself in variety and change.A society based on such a concept of Reality must reconcile, in its life,the categories of permanence and change.It must possess absolute principles to regulate its collective life.But absolute principles when they are understood to exclude all possibilities of change tend to immobilize what is essentially mobile in its nature.The failure of the Europe in political and social sciences illustrates the former principle;the immobility of Islam during the last five hundred years illustrates the latter.These underlined facts and figures,all of them need to be heeded, if we start pondering on these lines now! and evolve ourselves in its true essence then we can regain our lost character, otherwise what our status quo remain same even after 5 million years.
