Lesson
DiiNIllaahi – (the Religion of God), this word has already been used earlier
many times. Diin means “religion, fashion, custom,
rites, observances and a way of life” for instance; that particular manner of
thoughts and practice, which is a foundation of solicitude and view for work,
effort and action. Every community has its own specific ideologies. These
ideologies fix its form of thinking. Then in accordance with them, it molds its all-social manners of living, mode and civilization.
The people
of the Scripture had known the news regarding the period of the Last Messenger,
Prophet of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace of God Almighty be upon
him) from their Heavenly Books. Their prophets (peace be upon them) had caused
to hear them the glad tidings that one last prophet (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) has to come, whose religion will be of international
level. When Prophet of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
came, they recognized him well. But due to envy, malice and persistence, they
disbelieved in him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), denied to
embrace Islam and began to accuse Him of falsehood.
In these
conditions, the question raises that if these people are not ready to adopt the
most perfect and magnificent religion like Islam, then which religion they
like? Do they seek the religion which would be quite separate from entire
religions; bestowed by God Almighty, or they are desirous of any self invented
religion? Whereas, in the world, Islam remained from the beginning of the life
on the earth and will remain always as the religion of Allah Almighty, which
means “surrender to Allah, obedience and submission”. That is to say; to bow
the head before any command whenever it reaches through any Prophet or
Messenger (peace be upon him). Today, which religion is being presented by the
Last Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him),
is the same as Islam. Deliverance is not possible without it. Real success
cannot be acquired due to turning away from it. The humankind should never deny
obeying the command of Allah Almighty for his own happiness and likeness, whether
this order is cause of happiness for him or he feels compulsion and
helplessness in its execution.
Some creatures
of God Almighty are those who accept the orders of Allah Almighty pleasantly as
the Angels (peace be upon them), the pious persons and worshipers, and some are
those who believe in it by force as deniers of the truth, whereas, satisfaction
of the hearts cannot be obtained without the religion of Allah Almighty.
These entire
matters will be illuminated upon these deniers of the truth, when the entire human
beings will be present before Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgment. All creatures
will have to return there inevitably. Every wise person should be ready before coming
of that Day. If he lives here (in this world) disobedient then what face will
he show there?
