The Alarm of Doomsday
English book, p. 45
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
THE APPEARANCE OF DAJJAL ‘Leaders of the Ummah’ here means leaders who exploit. To promote their leadership, they utter beautiful words. They mask the irreligious nature of their goals in religious terminology. A significant number of people are then misled and rally around them. In short, this is religious exploitation. The Political Interpretation of Religion In the age of the printing press,age, books that give a political interpretation of Islam have been printed and published on a large scale. For a variety of reasons, these books have become popular. The goal of those who have fallen under the influence of this literature has become political revolution. This political interpretation of Islam is based on a dangerous fallacy, i.e., that religion is another name for a “complete system” and that the goal of religion is not just worship of and devotion to God, but is, more importantly, the implementation and enforcement of the civil and criminal laws of religion. Since implementing these laws has never been possible without the possession of power, it is natural that the possession of power by force has become the overriding goal of these movements. This religious form of politics, when carried into effect, has caused great harm.
