The name of the religion of Allah is Islam. Islam aims to correct one’s physical actions, psychic desires and heart thoughts by acquiring knowledge of Islam. So that life of this world and the Hereafter may be improved.

There is no compulsion in religion. If one wants to ruin his Hereafter, he can be made aware of the religion, but spoiling the Hereafter cannot be prevented by using force. Because Islam is a matter of Allah and the servant. Therefore, the non-practice of religion is not punished by the government.

The purpose of Islam is not to gain importance, wealth, fame or power by using the name of Islam. Rather, gaining importance, wealth, fame, and power is a game of politics. Politics is a war without bloodshed. While war is the politics of bloodshed.

Politics without bloodshed is not considered a crime. But the politics of bloodshed is considered a crime. Therefore, bloodshed is punishable by the government.

There are rules for every game. Politics is also a game of social dignity, administrative supremacy, financial prosperity and economic development. Therefore, in the game of politics, non-compliance with the law of the land is punishable by the government.

1. To gain importance, wealth, fame, and power, one should focus on learning political strategies to play the game of politics within the law of the country for social dignity, administrative supremacy, financial prosperity and economic development of

one’s nation.

2. One should acquire the knowledge of Islam to improve one’s life in this world and the Hereafter by correcting one’s physical actions, psychic desires and heart thoughts.

It is a good deed if a person practises Islam. But if a person “Mischief” in the name of Islam instead of practising Islam, then it is “Against the Dignity of Islam”. This is to “Defame Islam.”

So the questions are;

1. Is it possible to follow the “Rules of Islam” without correcting one’s thinking by “Practising Faith”?

2. Is it possible to act according to the “Methods of Islam” without correcting one’s psychological desires by following the “Rules of Islam”?

3. Is it possible to perform according to the “Principles of Islam” without correcting one’s heart’s thoughts by acting according to the “Methods of Islam”?

The questions are: What arrangements, the Islamic organisations have done to teach the people about;

1. “Faith”, to make them “Practice Faith”?

2. “Rules of Islam” to make them follow the “Rules of Islam”?

3. “Methods of Islam” to make them act according to the “Methods of Islam”?

4. “Principles of Islam” to make them perform according to the “Principles of Islam”?

These questions are asked because;

1. If the people do not know the “Faith”, then how will the people “Practice Faith”?

2. If the people do not know the “Rules of Islam”, then how will the people follow the “Rules of Islam”?

3. If the people do not know the “Methods of Islam”, then how will the people act according to the “Methods of Islam”?

4. If the people do not know the “Principles of Islam”, then how will the people perform according to the “Principles of Islam”?

There is an explanation about Faith, Rules of Islam (Shari’ah), Methods of Islam (Tareeqat), and Principles of Islam (Haqiqat) that;

1. One cannot enter Islam without believing. Entering Islam is the stage of “Amanu”.

By reading the Qur’an and understanding the “statement” of separating truth from falsehood; By believing in Allah, the Hereafter, the Angels, the Books, and the Prophets. One enters “Islam”.

2. Without acquiring the knowledge of the Rules of Islam (Shari’ah), the body cannot be saved from evil deeds and righteous deeds cannot be done. Doing righteous deeds is the stage of the “Muttaqin” (Righteous ones).

In the love of Allah; By giving wealth to the close ones and the orphans and the poor and the travellers. By spending on beggars and redeeming necks. By establishing Salat and giving Zakat. By fulfilling a commitment, when it is made. By persevering in hardship and in physical suffering and in times of battle. One attains the stage of the “Muttaqin”.

3. Without acquiring the knowledge of Methods of Islam (Tareeqat), the Soul cannot be saved from Sinful desires and desires of Goodness cannot be acted upon. Acting on desires of Goodness is the stage of the “Muhsineen” (Doers of Good).

By adorning ourselves at every place of worship and eating and drinking but not extravagantly. By abstaining from all obscene acts whether visible or hidden. By avoiding sin. By avoiding abuse without right. By not associating them with Allah for whom Allah has not revealed any evidence. By not saying such things about Allah of which there is no knowledge. By not killing your children for fear of poverty. By not going near adultery. By not killing that soul whom Allah has forbidden to kill. By not even going near the property of the orphan, but in such an auspicious way. By when something is to be measured and given, fill the measure completely and when it is to be weighed, keep the scales upright and weigh. By not following something that you don’t know about. By not walking stiffly on the ground. By not doing all these Evil things that are very displeasing to Allah. By not making mischief in the land after its reformation. By being patient. By remaining patient. By keeping in touch with each other. By fearing Allah. By continuing to struggle for the sake of Allah. By praying to Allah with fear and hope. One attains the stage of the “Muhsineen” (Doers of Good).

4. Without acquiring the knowledge of the Principles of Islam (Haqiqat), the heart cannot be saved from false thoughts and cannot be attracted to the right thoughts. Being attracted to the right thoughts is the stage of the “Momin” (True Believer).

When Allah is mentioned, the heart trembles. If the verses of Allah are recited, it increases the faith. By putting trust in Allah. By establishing Salat. By spending from the sustenance that Allah has given. By Struggling in the way of Allah with wealth and soul. By providing shelter and helping those who strive in the way of Allah. By emigrating in intention of the Hereafter and running for the Hereafter which running is necessary for the Hereafter. By considering the more right of the Prophet over their own self and considering the wives of the Prophet as their own mothers. By considering the bloody relatives more entitled to each other than believers and emigrants, except to do some well-known deed with guardians. By maintaining relations. By obeying Allah and His Messenger. By remaining steadfast in the religion of Ibrahim, the Hanifa. By keeping your prayers and your sacrifices and your life and your death for Allah. By fearing Allah. By believing in Allah as the Lord of all things. By believing that Allah is the only God and that “Momin” (True Believer) should rely on Allah alone. By rejoicing in that which Allah hath bestowed upon you of His bounty. By not being afraid and not being sad. By satisfied with the blessings given by Allah and His grace. By accepting the order of Allah and His Messenger even after suffering and By bearing hardships, doing good deeds and adopting piety. One attains the stage of the “Momin” (True Believer).

The most important question is whether the “Leaders and Dignitaries” of Islamic organizations, By acquiring the knowledge of Islam, have corrected their physical actions, psychic desires and heart thoughts before teaching Islam.

Among men is he who disputeth concerning Allah without having any guidance or a light-giving revelation (22:8) They turn away arrogantly, leading people astray from the way of Allah. Such men shall incur disgrace in this life and taste the punishment of the Fire on the Day of Judgement (22:9).

The bedouins said: “We have believed.” Tell them: “You have not believed; rather say, ‘We have become Muslims,’ for faith has not yet found its way into your hearts. If you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not deny you the reward of your deeds; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful” (49:14).
