How is Islam the solution?

By

It is said in Muslims and none- Muslim’s world that Islam presents the solution to every problem.

It is very easy for every Muslim to say that Islam is a solution. Sometimes, it is claimed too, that solution of today’s world’s problems lies in Islam.

Here is a question; How is Islam the solution? How Islam solves the problems? Though, the experiences in daily life describe Islam only a religion, just others, such as Jews, Christianity and Buddhism etc.

Looking toward Muslim’s difficulties in their own countries, increasing the number of cases of Human Rights violation in Muslim world, worsening situation of Muslim women, especially, those who have been divorced, poverty, illiteracy and crime rates contrary with the idea in which Islam known as a solution.

This question strikes to every mind of us. None-Muslims ask the question from us that if Islam presents solution so why Muslim countries and Muslims themselves unable to stop Human rights violation; why they are unable to resolve their most of the problems?

Sometimes, we see that the condition of None-Muslim countries and none-Muslims is better than Muslims in every field.

Current Muslim countries attitude clears that man mad laws are more effective than the laws stated in the Qura’an and Ahadeith.

Today, it is not a question that Islam is a solution, but question is how Islam a solution? How none-Muslims agree to this idea? How they able to understand that which kind of abilities Islam has?

Our none-Muslim friends ask us that if Islam is a solution so why most workers are being exploited in most Arab countries? Why Muslims and their Arab kafeels (Sponsors) do not give them their real rights which were promised to them when they had been selected? Why Muslims and none-Muslims have similar problems in most Arab countries over their jobs and salaries?

What is the need of Human Rights organizations in Muslim countries, though, Islam itself protector of Human Rights and advocates the respecting of Human values, rights and the duties of others.

We are ready to accept that the beauty of Islamic banking brings solution but why Muslim countries did not apply Islamic banking in their own countries? And why the sounds of Islamic banking came to know in Muslim countries only after the current financial collapse in America and in other countries.

Why current Banking systems are being applied in Muslim world, as it is clear for all of us that current banking system in which “sude” (interest) is allowed, totally banned in Islam.

How Islam a solution is a crucial issue for none-Muslims and a wakeup call for Muslims, as well as, for Muslim countries?

The time has gone to say about Islam or to be stated the adjectives of Islam, today’s world and today’s nations in different countries want to see Islam in real. They had tired from their past and from their freedoms. They want to see the changes. They want to see, how Islam can solve their problems. How Islam can bring solution to their problems.

How Islamic teaching can help them in reducing the crime rates in the society? How Islam gives the solution to eliminate the poverty from the society?

If Islam a solution so why most Muslim countries are suffering from poverty, violence and bad health situations. Why corruption has become a part and parcel of Muslim society?

One single Muslim country, where Islamic laws are being applied and where Darul-Qada delivers its judgments according to teaching and the conditions of Qura’an, cannot be given as an example.

Are five time prayers, performing Hajj & Umrah and keeping fast during the month of Ramzan is enough to say that we are Muslims and it is Islam?

Increasing of Islam in Western society is not for Muslims, but adjectives of Islam, teaching of Qura’an and the guaranties of rights, which are given to men and women, as stated in the Qura’an, led to spread Islam in European and Western society.

The system of Qada, justice system, as stated in Islam, the punishment to rapists, killers and thieves, property dispute cases, incidents of Talaq and others are the fields which are unpracticed in Muslim country according to Islamic law. Because the system of Darul Qada is not exit as it was the symbol of Islamic periods.

The actions and works, which are forbidden in Islam and Qura’an condemns it strongly, not only allowed in Muslim countries but also covered it with the support of governments and administrations.

Such movements raise question if these crimes and actions find a way to be operated in Muslim countries so how it can be said that Islam presents the solution?

It is a very crucial issue and an important question for Muslims as well as for Muslim governments.

Islam is a way of life. Islam states every thing which is related to daily life of every common man.

Executing Islamic laws in the society is the accountability of Muslim rulers and moving on the path of Islam as stated in Qura’an and Ahadeith is the accountability of every Muslim.

Now, it is their accountability to prove who damaged the image of Islam, and who is the obstacle in the way of Islam which announces clearly to solve every problem the world facing it today?
