Describe the dignity and superiroity of islam with proof as compared to other religions;

RELIGION AND ITS ROLE IN HUMAN LIFE:

The concpet of religion is based on the belief that there exisits an all embracing ,transcedental,moral law and that we human beings are bound to submit to its commands.Religion can be defined as faith in one God and to develop a sense of responsibility for the formation of thought and belief and for the promotion of morality as well as the establishment of harmonious relations with the members of the society.So the concpet of religion can be understood in the wide aspects.

For the proper development of human life man needs two kinds of things,first are the resources to maintain life and fullfill the material aspects of the individual and society and knowledge of the principles of individual and social behaviour to enable man to have self fullfillment and to maintain justice and tranquility in human life.The Lord of the universe has provided for both of these in full measure.To cater for the material needs of man He has provided nature with all kinds of resources,which lie at the disposal of man.To provide for his spiritual ,social and cultural needs He raised His prophets from among men and revealed to them the code of life which can guide man's steps to the Right path.

MYSTERY OF LIFE:

Man has always been unable to provide an explaination of the mystery of life ,the mystery of birth and death,the mystery of infinity and eternity.For the understanding and attainment of knowledge man strives for reasoning to solve the mysteries that are present around him in the various forms of their existence.For the proper understaniding and concievement of the secrecies of life religion plays a significant role.It helps man to build up his individual conciousness and through its revelations makes it easier for him to understand the conception of his existence.

EXISTENCE OF VARIOUS RELIGIONS:

The concept of religion in human civilization has always been present since its advent.Howver it is difficult to number all the religions as not much information is available regarding their basic conceptions and their followers .However the major religions which still reatain their presence in teh world include Hinduism,Judaism,Zorostinism,Christianity and Islam.These religions are the major religions of the world carrying within themselves the most important aspect of the code of life.On close observation we may realize that all these religions have one feature of morality in common and they preach of the building up of the principles of life among each other on pure harmonious grounds.

However,the religions like Budhasim and Christianity there are no practicle applications that ahs been advised by its preachers.Hinduism too builds its notions on the divisions of humanity.All these and other religions ,failed to flourish well beside their certain apprecaible features as they were not the true picturization of all the individual,collective,social,moral,political aspects of humanity.Unlike other religions islam can be regarded as a perfect form of religion as it has provided its followers a complete embodiment of teh conducts and principles of life.

The religion of islam carries within itself certain features which has been revealed to the individuals on teh basis of complete guidence regarding all the phases of human existence.
As Imam Abu Hanifa ,presented the view of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ,
"O, people don't interpret religion by our own thinking and absolutely follow the Sunnah,for whosesoever goes away from it goes astray"
Thus a stress has been laid for all the humanity to follow the complete way of life which islam has provided them with in its teachings.

ISLAM AND COMPARISON WITH OTHER RELIGIONS:

Islam is the only religion of mankind.It is a dynamic belief and a revolutionary concept and means that all men are the creatures of one God and all stand on equal footings.This coneption of equality is not present among all the religions of the world.Hinduism is one of the most significant examples of inquality as it divides the members of its society in various social classes .Islam on teh other hand concieves humanity as a one single family and any discrimmination on the basis of colour,class,race or terrirtory is remannet of the days of ignorance which chained men down to servitude.There is no proletarian,nor bourgeious,no black or white,westerenr or easterner.Islam intensly beleives in the unity of mankind.As Allah says,

"HOld tight to the rope of God,altogethr and never let go again"

CONCEPTION OF SIMPLICITY:

Islam is a religion without mythology as comapred to the other religions.Infact the teachings which islam presents are simple and not complicated.It is free from irrational beliefs and superstitions.All its beliefs like unity of one God,the concept of Life and death and the belief in the Prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH) are simple and based on sound reasonings and logic.Unlike other religions islam is free from far fetched abstractions and complicated rights as well as rituals.Everybody has an easy approach towards the book Of Allah i.e., Quran and everybody can dictate its teachings in practice.

RATIONALITY AND ISLAM:

Islam believs in teh awakening of man's faculty of reason and knowledge and desires from the individual to observe things in the light of reality.The Quran advised man to pray,
"O, My Lord ! advance me in knowledge"
According to the views of islam knowledge regarding the concept of life gives man physical and moral strength.Infact it is helpful in strengthning his bonds and relations with both Allah and the rest of teh humanity,
"He who leaves his home in search of knowledge walks in teh path of God."
Islam's major role ,as compared to the other religions is that it brings man out of the world of superstition and darkness and initiates within him the light of knowledge and strong belief.

UNITY OF MATTER AND SPIRIT:

Another unique feature of islam that raises its calibre among other religions is that it is not a believer of dividing life into water tight compartments.It stands for life fulfillment and not life denial.It si aginst ascetisism and does not asks man to avoid the material aspects of life.Infact it gives us the idea that spiritual elevation can be acheived by living piously even in the rough and tumble of life and not by renouncing the world.Quran advises its followers to pray as,

"O,Lord give us the good in thsi world and the good in the hereafter"
Thus islam does not believes in seperation of the material and moral and enjoins man to build his life on the healthy moral foundations.It stresses on maintaing the equilibrium between both the material aspects and the religious notions.Islam stands for the middle path and emphasizes on the esatblishment of balance .

UNIVERSAL RELIGION:

The message which islam has reveals is meant for all the humanity.God in Islam is the God of all the world and the prophet is the messenger of the whole of human race.According to the verse of Holy Quran,
"O,people i am the Messenger of God to you all"

Islam is a universal religion,a religion which is free from all teh social barriers .The religions other than islam has built false barrires and have alternated their religious notions according to their particular demands.But Islam removes all the impediments and proclaims the idea of the whole humanity being one family of God,
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said,
"All creatures of God form the family of God and he is the best loved of God who loveth best His creatures."

Infact Islam is international in its outlook and approach and does not allow distinctions on the clour,clan,blood or territory which were prevalent before the advent of islam.Islam believs in humanity and universality.It is not a rigid or inflexible religion and belives in the promotion of good among all the memebers of teh humanity.This practice,however has not been obserevd in the other religions who ahve built their reiligious beliefs on the basis of wrong,rigid notions.

CONCLUSION:

Thus islamic ideology is not a mere philosophical or a coomon system but is a revolutionary doctrinewhich believes in teh reformation of the humanity according to the way which it has ordained for the whole humanity.It is a perfect religion and is the completion of the Creator's favour upon man as far as the regulation of his life is concernerd,
"THis day i have perfected your religion for you,completed My favours upon you and have chosen for you Al-islam as your religion"

To a non -Muslim,who builds his life on the traditional concept of religion,it is only a private relationship between man and his Creator,but for a Muslim religion comprehends teh whole of life with a perfect pattern of thought and behaviour.This notion of Islamic ideology raises it above the other religions of teh world .
