Brothers and Sisters of faith in this forum, could you please define true Islam for me, so we can all follow it and achieve our great Ummah again.
As far as I understand, it definitely is not just Imaan, Salat, Sawm, Hajj and Zakat, while we live under Kuffar nationalist system called Nation-states. True Islam is to follow the example of Muhammad(SAWS) and the commands of Quran, not bits of pieces of it, taken out of context, but in their totality. True Islam is to follow the example of how the Ummah was formed from the sacrifices of the Sahaba and how in the Great early Ummah, under Kholafa-e-Rashidun, all inhabitants could live life in peace and prosperity, under strict Shariah based law and order.
Islam, unlike Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and other world religions, is not a label, which you can put on like a garment, when you have some belief and conduct some rituals. Islam is a total way of life:
- ritualistic
- political
- economic
- judicial
etc. covering all spheres of human activity within the Ummah. Muslims living without a united Ummah, and not working towards it, are not true Muslims.
It is a total system, that includes individuals conducts and governance of society. Until and unless we start working towards that goal, sticking to rituals only just make us half Muslim. Hope you understand these points.
Allahu A'alam.
