The Lost Islam

--Human being is social creature. It is unthinkable that mankind will live on earth without a system which contains laws, rules, penal code, economic politics etc. to control and regulate its action.

After being thrown out Paradise Adam(a.s.), Hawa and their children, now mankind, have only three ways open to them.

1)To accept the promised Guidance and lead personal, family and collective lives by it. It is Tawheed,Islam.

2)To totally reject the Guidance from Allah and decide what laws, policies, rules, regulations and codes they will live by on earth. It is Kufr(Rejection

3)To accept the Guidance partially and formulate the rest by themselves; like, the Guidance in personal life and make laws, regulations, codes for collective lives themselves. It is Sherk.

It is of necessity that any of the three systems must contain socio-economic, political, judicial and moral policies and principles, besides laws and penal codes. If mankind does not decide to accept the First choice, it has to formulate a system or systems by themselves. But mankind is not capable of formulating a complete and comprehensive system, which is so faultless and perfect. Their made system is unable to give perfect peace to live on earth.

For example, human beings have rejected the Guidance and have made their own system hence living in Kufr. During the reign of the kingdom, the kings made a Monarchy. But people were fed up with the brutality and tyranny of the kings. Seeing the horror of Monarchy, people established Socialism to bring equality in the economy among all classes of people. But it failed to fulfil its goal. Then they have made Democracy to maintain their ways of life. But it has become unable to give them peace in their economic, social, political life.

Although mankind is at the pinnacle of civilization, the world is full of turmoil, every kind of injustice, battles and wars, bloodshed and death. That is exactly what the Malayeks (Angels) which included the Eblis told Allah when He informed them about His intention of creating His Khalifa, representative on earth. “Your representative will cause Fasad (injustice, oppression, turmoil) and Safaquddima (blood-shed,battles,clashes,wars)” said Malayeks. The truth of the Malayeks’ statement is too manifest not only today but throughout the history of mankind. So It is evident that mankind couldn’t find out a way of life, to formulate a system and a constitution which would enable them to live in peace and security i.e. Islam (literary peace). As Allah has created human beings, He knows well which system of life gives them peace in their national and personal life.

***How did the Eblish disobey Allah's order as Malayeks didn’t have Free-will?

** When Allah ordered the Malayeks to prostrate themselves before Adam, all did except the Eblish (Quran-Al Hijr-30). Malayeks are made of light. But the Eblish is made of fire and originally he was a Jinn who by his extraordinary Ibadat (obedience and dutifulness) rose to the rank of a Malayek, the only one not made of light. But he had still arrogance in him. When Allah ordered him to prostrate before Adam, he said, “l am made of fire and Adam is made of soil. I am superior to him. Why are you giving him greatness upon me”. By disobeying Allah's order, he became disbeliever and disobedient. Allah went out him from his presence Al Arash. But the real answer is that it was necessary to put an opposition force in Adam to test him to see what he does with the free he is endowed with, as the Vicegerent of Allah on earth. If he was sent to earth with only the soul of Allah blown into him it would be like scoring as many goals as you wished when there was no opponent team to play against. So the Eblish disobeyed Him in accordance with a big plan made by Allah Himself. Allah gives Eblish's pride, vanity as the reason of his disobedience yet had Allah willed otherwise who is Eblish to disobey Him? (Quran -Sura Saad -73-76)

◾What did Eblish desire from Allah when Allah expelled him from his presence?

➡️ Allah cursed and expelled the Eblish for disobeying His order to prostrate before Adam. Eblish told Him that he would prove that the new creation Adam, Man would also disobey Him if he give the power to Eblish to enter into Adam's body, mind and thought. He was granted his wish and Allah told him that He would to Adam (mankind). If they follow that Guidance(right direction) he would not be able to misguide them into disobeying Him.(Quran- Al Baqara -38).The Guidance is Tawheed,Serat ul Mustaqueem

◾What did Eblish threw a challange to Allah and what did Allah say him in reply?

➡️ When Allah cursed, yet granted the Eblish his wish and endowed him with powers to enter into the body and soul of Adam and Hawa and induce and persuade them and expelled him from his presence, Eblish threw a challenge to Allah.He said, “Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path (the Guidance,the Hedayah),Then I will come to them from before them and behind them,from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (they will not be dutiful to You).(Quran-Al Araf -17)

In reply Allah said- “Get out from this (Paradise) disgraced and expelled.Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you,then surely I will fill Hell with you all.”(Quran-Al Araf -16-18)Here it is important to note that Allah didn’t contradict the Eblish when he challanged that he would ambush and sn**ch away most of mankind from the Sirat ul Mustaqeem,the Hedayah (Guidance). He only said,He would fill the Jahannam (Hell) with the Eblish and those he will be able to sn**ch away, misguide.This indicates that majority of mankind will be misguided by Eblish and hence will be in Jahannam (Hell).It also should be noted that the Eblish did not challenge that he would instigate,persuade mankind to commit sins,or no refrain from performing religious actions,from saying prayer worshipping, fasting etc. but only to remove them from the Guidance, Sirat ul Mustaqeem,the Tawheed, from obeying Him.

◾ Who are Malayeks(Angels)?

➡️ Malayeks are the natural forces Allah has created to run His universe in discipline and in order.The fire,the air,the water,the electricity, the sun,the earth,the light and trillions of these things are Angels.Natural forces or Angels have no free-will of their own.They do exactly what Allah has fixed for them to do; they cannot deviate an atom's measure from the work He has ordained for each of them.

◾Why did Allah order all the Malayeks(Angels) to prostrate themselves before Adam(a.s.)?

➡️ As the Malayeks are natural forces,they don’t have free-will to do anything except what Allah has fixed for them to do. By ordering Angels to prostrate themselves before Adam He ordained that they would render service to Adam, i.e. to mankind. The Angels, natural forces continue serving mankind in thousands of ways, millions of ways. Allah says-”Angels are to serve mankind And He has made subservient to you from Himself,all that in the heavens and on earth.” The natural are doing the same thing. The fire, the air, the earth, the sun, the water,every natural force is serving mankind, indeed without their service we would be dead within mintues.

?

➡️ There was a difference in creating all other things and Adam. Allah created the whole universe and everything in it by ordering, “Be” and it was created(Quran:An-Nahl-40).That was and is the process of creation by Him. He created Adam with His own hands(Quran-Sura Saad-75).Why this honor when He had created even the Angels besides everything by just saying “Be”, why did He create Adam with his own hands? The reason is obvious. He was creating His Khalifa (Vicegerent) into whom He would presently blow from His soul.Even being created by the hands of the Creator, the lord of heaven and earth Adam(a.s.) was one of the trillions of other creations.Only when He blew from His soul into him, Adam became not only unique but the Ashraful-Makhlukat (the most honored in the entire creation)[Quran-Al Hijr-29].When Allah blew from His soul, Adam was endowed with all the Sifat (qualities, attributes) of the Creator,which none other of the vast creation had possessed or possesses.We have been informed about 100 names of Allah, each possessing a different Sifat like Khaleque(the Creator), Rab(the sustainer), Qadir(the all Powerful), Rahman(the most beneficent) etc. When He blew from His soul,every Sifat (qualities, attribute,property) of Allah was also infused,transferred into Adam along with the power of Free-will,ability to do or not to do a thing, which none other in the creation has.

◾Why did Malayeks(Angels) say this creation would cause turmoil,unrest and bloodsheed when Allah informed of His intension to create His khalifa on earth??

➡️ Allah created this universe.He made laws and rules for His creations and made uncountable numbers of Malayek to run and conduct the affairs related to it.Neither the creations nor the angels have free-will to do anything except what He has fixed for them to do.After billions or trillions upon trillions of years,He wished to create something new which will have free-will and power to do anything it likes or not to do anything it dislikes,e.g. the Man.
Before creating Man He wanted to know the opinions of His Malayeks about the new creation and informed of His intention to create His khalifa( Vicegerent) on earth.They humbly opined that this creation would cause Fasad(turmoil,unrest) and Safakuddima(bloodshed).Here,a question arises: Allah had not yet created Man,He only informed the angels of His intention. Then how did the Angels know beforehand what this new creation would do after it was created? He said He would create His khalifa(Vicegerent), He didn’t use the word Man or Adam.From His use of that word,the Angels immediately understood that this new creation would not be like any other creation,or even like them who meticulously obeyed His orders abiding by His laws and rules,as they don't have Free-will.Since this new creation will be His khalifa,Vicegerent it must possess something of His powers and qualities including Free-will,ability to do what it likes and wants,even to disobey His Creator.Had not Allah use the word Khalifa(Vicegerent) the Angels would not have opined against this new creation. However Allah told the Angels that He knew what the Angels did not and overriding this objection created Adam(a.s.).

Book Name: Aims and purpose of Hezbut Tawheed.

writer: Mr. Mohammad Bayazid Khan Panni

Book reviewer: Sabikun Nahar Eva

In one word, the goal and purpose of the Hezbut Tawheed movement is to eradicate all injustices, discrimination, bloodshed etc. among people and unify them on the basis of Allah's orders.

Allah has given man the power of free will, the future of man depends on the decision he made after receiving the power of free will. The challenge given by Iblis, the free will of man, the arrival of the Prophets, the choices made by man and the consequences are beautifully explained in the book.

Allah has created us, so who knows better than Allah Almighty that how we live will bring peace in our overall life? Just as Allah is perfect, flawless, so Allah's way of life is also flawless.

During the era of Jahiliyyat, the injustice of people, injustice to women, injustice to slaves, that is to say, the condition of the society was poor in all aspects. That picture has emerged somewhat in the book. As a result of the call of last Messenger of Allah Rasulullah (SAW), the picture of radical change in society and people has emerged. The importance and history of the word Tawheed of Allah that is "Do not obey anyone but one Allah" has been beautifully presented. Hezbut Tawheed is the movement to call mankind towards that Tawheed.

If you read the book, you will know many unknown facts about Islam, unknown history about Islam. Moreover, the book is an excellent book for those who have a different idea about the aims and purpose of Hezbut Tawheed.

Book's Name: Let's Change the System
Author: Mr. Mohammad Bayazid Khan Panni

Title: If the road is curved, the car cannot be driven straight even after hundred attempts.

A novel is a descriptive literary work in which the author expresses his personal emotions, feelings, thoughts, and philosophy in the field of life. The story of the novel is created by sheltering some characters. Among whom can be seen the reflection of the writer's multifaceted thinking. But when the size of the book is small, the characters of the story are not needed to convey the author's point. One such book is 'sChangeTheSystem.
Well, how would it be if there was no injustice, injustice, war, bloodshed, strife, etc. in our world! The world would become a paradise right? Coming to the present day, we cannot even imagine such a world. But even though we cannot conceive of it due to the limitations of our thinking, a small nation called Arab made such an unimaginable impossible possible.

First come to the naming of the book. A line is mentioned on the cover page of the book - Injustice, corruption, strife, bloodshed i.e. all types of injustice - the source of unrest is the existing system or way of life. So, let's change the system. All over the world, people today are drowning in injustice, unrest, war and bloodshed. All mankind is crying for peace today. People are not getting peace in anything even after practicing it by creating one life system after another. Therefore, for this naming of the book, only peaceful and thoughtful people will be interested in reading the book.
In this book, the author has expressed his self-realization and philosophy of life. He throws a huge question mark(?) at the present progressive human civilization by saying that,
This ongoing civilization in human life is civilization at all? Is it good or bad for the world?

We can basically divide the book into two parts. In the first part, the author discusses in detail the civilization or system we are currently living in and what are its consequences. The author has presented various arguments that the conventional system is not the system given by Allah. He also said that all people want peace. Various developed countries have adopted various activities and enacted various laws to maintain peace. But there is no peace but injustice - injustice, war, bloodshed are increasing day by day. People are confused today. Everywhere in the world today is full of terrible geographical and economic injustice. Everywhere injustice prevails over justice, falsehood over truth. Because of the failure of the system, people cannot be honest even if they want to. Untruth has to be constantly fought unequally. Once people are choosing the path of corruption even if they need to survive.
In the second part of the book, the author tells the way to get rid of this injustice in the light of past history. And that is, or natural religion. Allah Ta'ala created everything in this universe within a certain rule and bound everything within this rule. Similarly, he has given a specific rule on how people can live peacefully in the world. Violation of this natural law will destroy the natural balance. As a result of which human life suffers. For example, the author presents the history of a nomadic nation who transformed into one of the most advanced nations in the world in just a few years by simply following the commandments of Allah. Here the author presents how their various social systems were.

The author has quoted a verse from the Qur'an to illustrate how perfect the system given by Allah is against the conventional system-
"He has created the seven heavens layer by layer. You will not see any flaw in the creation of the Merciful God. Look again; do you see any flaw? Then you look again and again - your sight will return failed and tired (Surah Mulk: 3-4).

In the book, the author has explained everything clearly in a very nice and fluent language so that people of all classes, professions and ages can easily understand this book. Because of its simplicity and comprehensibility, the book appeals to be read in a flash from cover to cover. The author's efforts in bringing alive such a dull subject as the present human civilization, its system and results have undoubtedly been worthwhile.

Book Review: Ahsin Awab

Book Name: "Aqeedah of Momen, Muslim and Ummah Mohammadi"

Written by Mohammad Bayazid Khan Panni

I came to know about the word "Aqeedah" in my academic books. But the fact that a book could be written on this small topic encouraged me to read the book.

Aqeedah refers to a comprehensive concept about a subject. It is very important to have a clear idea about why we are doing something. Similarly, if we do not know properly why we came to earth and what is our work, then the purpose of coming to earth will fail.Without proper ideas, proper planning and getting proper feedback is not possible.What should be the Aqeedah of the followers of true Islam is clearly explained here with the help of Qur'an and Hadith.
The author nicely uses various examples to drive the issue of Aqeedah clearly into our minds.
Before reading this book I was not aware of the difference between Momen Muslim and Ummah Mohammadi! By birth, people cannot assume the identity of Momen, Muslim or Ummah Mohammadi, but have to assume it through work, the author has very tactfully explained this point with legal reference.
Apart from what the Messenger of Allah commanded us to do, we have restricted Islam to unnecessary and personal levels. As a result, we have confused the correct idea about Islam that the Messenger of Allah brought, and we have lost our way. The truth has been presented frankly in this book, out of the fabricated, popular general idea. I have been reading various Islamic books since childhood, but this book is exceptional and life-oriented.

The book contains 24 pages but carries a lot of authentic information and guidelines.Those who have not read the book,are ignorant of the most important and fundamental issues of Islam, I think this book can be a guide for every sensible, thoughtful person.
