Islam and other Ideologies
Written by Mufti Afzal Hoosen Elias
Man seeks internal peace and to achieve this form of mental stability he has produced Nazism, Atheism, Nationalism, Communism, Socialism, Imperialism, and the like. None of these fulfil the need for mental stability as does Islaam. We find either total dictatorship or complete freedom. Even where restrictions are placed, they have personal or governmental motivation which more often than not fulfil a selfish need and is not beneficial for all. Islaam when it limits man, does so for his own good and for that of society. Sometimes a very strict law is applied, as for theft, adultery and murder which many find difficult to grasp. The reason, however is simple. When severity to an individual saves society as a whole then the interests of society has to be protected first. One does not, as seen in the West, sacrifice society for the sake of one individual.
Because of this lopsided reasoning the west is plagued with drugs, high divorce rates, alcoholism and an alarming number of illegitimate children, old age homes, child abuse and diseases, such as the killer AIDS disease.
Islaam is simple, easy to understand, complete, and void of internal or external contradictions. Islaam has a basic belief structure with a just political system, a complete social system and practical economical scheme without any contradictions.
