The word “Islam” in Arabic means “self-devotion, submission, salvation,” as well as “peace.” Imam A’zam Abû Hanîfa (rahmatullahi ’alaih) has defined Islam as “submission and obedience to Allâhu ta’âlâ’s commandments.”
If the facts stated above are read carefully, it will automatically become clear how a Muslim should be. How Allâhu ta’âlâ likes His slaves to be is explained very well in the Qur’ân al-kerîm. The exalted meanings of verses 63-69 in Chapter Furqan are:
“[The virtuous] slaves of the Rahmân (Allâhu ta’âlâ’, who has much compassion for His slaves) walk on the earth modestly and with dignity. When ignorant people try to annoy them, they respond with kind words, such as: ‘peace and safety be on you!’ They spend the nights standing and prostrating [performing namâz] before their Lord. [They offer their thanks and praise to Him]. They entreat Allah, ‘O my Allah, take the Hell torment away from us. Indeed, His torment is eternal and bitter, and that place is no doubt an evil and horrible residence.’ In their spending, they are neither prodigal nor miserly; they follow a moderate way between these two extremes, and they do not deduct from anyone’s rights. They do not attribute partners to Allah. They do not kill anyone, which is prohibited by Allah. They do not commit fornication.”
In verses 72-74 of the same chapter:
“[Those virtuous human slaves whom Allâhu ta’âlâ likes] they do not bear falsewitness. They abstain from things… useless and harmful. If they are accidentally involved in something useless or which can be done with great difficulty, they pass by in a dignified manner. They do not turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the revelations of their Lord when they are reminded of them. They implore saying, ‘O my Allah! Bestow such wives and children as may be a source of comfort to our eyes. Make us examples for those who fear You.”
The exalted meaning of the first three verses in Chapter (sûra) Mâ’ûn is:
“O! My Messenger! Have you seen someonewho denies the Judgement, puts the orphan aside with harshness, does not give their rights, and does notencourage others to feed the needy?”
The worships of such people are not accepted. In Islam, keeping away from the prohibitions (harâm) takes precedence over doing the commandments (fards). A true Muslim is, first of all, a perfect and mature person. He has a smiling face. He is a honey tongued man who tells the truth. He never knows what it is “to be angry.” Rasûlullah (Hadrat Muhammad [sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam]) declared:
“The person given mildness is the oneendowed with the goodness of this world and the Hereafter.”
A Muslim is extremely modest. He listens to everyone who consults him and helps them as far as possible.
In conclusion, rightly guided followers of Islam are not problematic they are problem solving instead. In fact, problematic are actually those who follow another religion under the name of ‘Islam’. In other words, if they are not abiding by the Islam’s instructions then they are following their own way, not Islam
