Obligations in Islam: Dominance of the right religion:

Dominance of the Right Religion

“And it is God who has sent the messenger PBUH, with the true belief system so that it dominates all other forms of faith”.

Religion has evolved from the beginning of human civilization. Before the final form of the religion which happens to be Islam, the religions were local not global in extent. 

No previous religion could be established in its true form but Islam in the state of Madina, because of resistance over- whelming the movement. 

On the other hand, the non faith systems made by man at different stages of history have completely or partially failed either in clashes or themselves over time. 

So, now, it is high time for human kind to realize the importance of Islam as the final form of the religion and that as a complete system of life. 

It is noteworthy that civilization have clashed and now religions will clash at a global level. The whole point of re-appearance of Jesus Christ PBUH is the establishment of the global system of social justice, ‘Islam’.

            It clearly implies that alongside obeying the instructions of God, passing on his message to the masses is the primary obligation of the believers. 

Quran was revealed in Arabic but after the prophet PBUH and his rightly guided caliphs, this propagation was compromised by the so-termed Muslims rulers especially the ones in Ottoman Empire and then the Arabs because they compromised Caliphate and later indulged in the worldly leisure and entertainment. 

Now the responsibility lies mainly on the non-Arab Muslims as the Poet of the East has pointed out!

“Where the leader of the Arab felt the cool breeze coming

That is my land, That is my land”

This refers to the Indian subcontinent especially considering the revivalist contributions of scholars during the second millennium of Islam from here. 

It is of interest to revise that sketch which put faith in foundation. Prayers, fasting, alms and pilgrimage in the basement as four pillars, the instructing of good and forbidding from bad as the first floor as well as declaring on people. 

And the second and the top floor is the establishing of religion of Islam as a system and its dominance over the other systems. This is the fundamental assertion, which every Muslim has to include in his duties as a mission plan.
