So what is Islam? Is Islam only about five pillars?
- Shahadah
- Salah
- Zakat
- Sawm
- Hajj
These are the pillars that allow us to be in the system of Islam. But what about after entering into that system? Does our responsibility get finished? These are all the questions that arises in the mind of an ordinary person (like me) who wants to know more about Islam.
There is one more question that arises in my mind. What is the purpose of a Human and a Muslim? In any sector, whether it is Sunni or Shia, All of the scholars think that the purpose or a human or Muslim is to worship Allah. This might be right. Actually, this is right. But?
But have you ever heard of the terms ‘Confirmation bias’ and ‘Eisegesis’? This means that all of the phenomena of this system (of this world) have already been explained in the Quran. Human beings have been sent to this system made by Allah, in which not only Human beings but all creature exists in benevolence. Human beings or Muslims have been sent to this world not only to worship Allah but also to settle the system of Allah. Isn’t it? But why do we only consider following the 5 pillars of Islam and forget about establishing the system of Allah that Islam actually tries to teach us?
To know more about how to settle or establish the system of Allah, I have researched a lot and here I will be releasing a series of articles under the name of ‘being Muslim’ that helps to establish the Islamic system. Hopefully this helps us to retain our identity as a Muslim. Following are the topics of this series.
- Lie
- Envy
- Consistency or Steadfastness
- Culture
- Hopelessness
- Truancy
- Backbiting
- Arrogance
- Troth
- Credit Hunger
- Courage
- Relationship.
I will try to upload each topic every week. Stay connected if you’re willing to learn and know more about this journey of retaining Muslim Identity.
