Back to the basics (Needed!!)

Peace to all (salam) and A very good morning on this warm heated day ...

Everything going fine - as expected - and feels good to be at office with no drop of sweat on a day like this ...

Interestingly what i found out yesterday ... a discussion about a state... whether it was an Islamic or a Secular ... and the discussion went on and on ... till i noticed a new term - for me at least - Islamic Theocracy , it means a state administered according to religious laws and authority While on the other hand, A secular state is ruled according to human-made rules and regulations (but in the discussion : a state that is not administered according to religious laws or authority) ...

so this should be an intro for us today ... well ladies and gentlemen, Islam is a way of life (fact), and its a system by itself (fact), it has some personal obligations and obligations that can only be done in a group of Muslims like the Friday prayer,and the two celebrations of Eid in the year .... for example ... but the personal obligations are much higher in number and impact ; such as honesty, sincerity, respect , generosity, ..etc so a conclusion to this, if a Muslim was to live in an Islamic or Secular environment, it will depend solely on his own behavior ... if people don't pray one day .. he should pray ...as long as he believes in it ...so i guess its time for our honorable scholars to stop thinking of extending their social status and begin preparing some good guidelines on "How To Make A Better Muslim" .... education is the key to religion more than any politics ... or hidden agendas ... lets be clear about stuff, we lack basic knowledge of Religions ... Islam be it or any other religion ... so these people talk about authority ... they like it and they want it ... i think its time for us to consider the basics rather than "covering our heads"... shutting our ears ..while eating nasi lemak , just look around you and you will see a corrupted society that is prone to a not-so-good future ... Its time that we really see Islam as it is ... we can have a so-called Islamic government with not that much of number of Muslims practicing Islam. Meanwhile a so-called secular state that has a bigger number of practicing Muslims... and this is how i see it ...



and thats for it ...
