Islam and the "Nation of Islam" are two different
religions. Islam is a religion for all races and enjoins the worship of the one
unseen God who, orthodox Muslims believe, never took human form. The
"Nation", on the other hand, is a movement geared towards non-whites
and teaches that God appeared in the form of Fard Muhammad in 1930 and that
Elijah Muhammad (a man who died in 1975) was a prophet of God. These beliefs
clearly contradict the basic Islamic theology outlined in the Qur'an. The
followers of "the Nation" adhere to some Islamic principles that are
mixed with many other teachings that are alien to Islam. To better understand
the difference between the two, read about Malcolm X, his pilgrimage to Mecca
and his subsequent comments to the media. Islam teaches equality amongst all
the races (Holy Qur'an 49:13).
All Muslims are not
Arab. Islam is a universal religion and way of life which includes followers
from all races of people. There are Muslims in and from virtually every country
in the world. Arabs only constitute about 20% of Muslims worldwide. Indonesia
has the largest concentration of Muslims with over 120 million.
In the five daily
prayers, Muslims face the Kaaba in Mecca, Arabia. It is a cube-shaped stone
structure that was originally built by Prophet Adam and later rebuilt by
Prophet Abraham. Muslims believe that the Kaaba was the first house of worship
on Earth dedicated to the worship of one god. Muslims do not worship the Kaaba.
It serves as a central focal point for Muslims around the world, unifying them
in worship and symbolizing their common belief, spiritual focus and direction.
Interestingly, the inside of the Kaaba is empty.
The hajj is a
simultaneous pilgrimage to the Kaaba made by millions of Muslims each year. It
is performed to commemorate the struggles of Abraham, Ishmael and Hagar in
submitting their wills to God.
In Arabic, the word “Islam” means submission or surrender –
however, it was derived from the root word “salam”. From this root word, you
can also derive the words peace and safety. Many people feel that Islam implies
some sort ofenslavement to Allah, but others find it more helpful to define the
word “Islam” as surrender.
Many religions have a concept of surrender to God. In Jewish
history, when the ancient Hebrews obeyed God’s commands, they had a long period
of prosperity and stability.
In Christianity, surrendering to God is a way of putting
your life into more capable hands – in fact, Jesus asked many of his disciples
to surrender their livelihoods and follow him.
So, if we look at the word ‘Islam’ in this way, we can
understand why obeying Allah’s commands and trusting in Allah’s wisdom could
bring about peace for a Muslim.
The word does not represent a one-sided relationship, where
the believer is enslaved to Allah. Rather, the word Islam indicates a covenant
between Allahand his followers, where a Muslim surrenders his or her will to
Allah in return for peace or safety.
TAQWA: Fearing Allah
Taqwa can be compared to walking through a narrow path with
thorny bushes on both sides and a person passing through it tries his level
best to save his clothes from being torn. The thorns are the sins and the
clothes is one's Eeman.
Linguistically Taqwa means forbearance, fear and abstinence,
but in the Islamic terminology, Taqwa has a distinct meaning. Taqwa is a high
state of heart, which keeps one conscious of Allah's presence and His
Knowledge, and it motivates him to perform righteous deeds and avoid those,
which are forbidden.
The essence of Taqwa is to make a shield (which guards)
against Allah's anger and punishment. That shield is to obey His commandments
and abstain from His punishment. [as explained by Ibn Rajab (rahimahullah) in
Jami al-Uloom wal-Hikam (190/191)]
Allah says: "O you who believe! Have Taqwa of Allah, as
you should have of Him and do not die except as Muslims." [Soorah
aal-Imraan (3): 102]
