THE RELIGION OF HUMANITY: Islam’s Ethical and Spiritual Outlook

Why is there such a difference between these two incidents? The reason is that the Prophet of Islam followed the divine religion, whereas present-day Muslims follow a communal religion. Those who follow the divine religion receive the assistance of angels. For them, the closed doors of hearts are opened. On the other hand, those who follow the communal religion have only their ego as their companion. Their actions fuel the fires of stubbornness and pride. They give others the “gift” of hatred, and in return, others give them the “gift” of hatred and revenge. CULTURE OF WELL-WISHING Islamic culture is, at its core, a culture of well-wishing. However, in the modern era, under the influence of certain so-called Islamist ideologues, some Muslims have wrongly associated Islam with a “gun culture.” This is undoubtedly a serious deviation. God intended for Muslims to be a source of mercy in the world, but instead, some have become a source of harm. No matter how often such actions are carried out in the name of Islam, they are false and completely contrary to the divine purpose. What is this world? It is a place of selection for the righteous. Before the Day of Judgment, people are tested and chosen, and after the Day of Judgment, those found worthy will be settled in eternal abodes of peace. This truth is clearly outlined in the Quran for those who reflect sincerely.
