The
fear of Allah Az wa Jal and the conviction which we carry determines
our purpose in life, this burdens us with certain responsibilities
and obligations which we must adhere by.
There are numerent references to mankinds responsibility in
life given in the Qur 'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw).
I
created the jinn and mankind only that they worship Me " [
Qur'an 51 :56 ]
Man's
role of trustee of the earth is also referred to clearly in the
Qur'an.
"And when
thy Lord said unto thc angels I am about to place a trustee in the
earth" [ Qur'an 2:30 ]
All
of ones life should he in accordance with the direction given to us
by our Creator.This is what worship in its widest sense means. We are
not free to undertake anything we wish in life, we are subject to the
laws alld controls given to us to regulate our affairs. All societies
need systems to ensure harmony and progress, Islam has given us the
basis or creed from which all systems emanate. Man's systems for
social law, governmcnl and ruling, economy, and justice are all given
from this basis from our Creator. To ignore these facts is to ignore
our responsibility in life. To lead a life apart from that given by
our Creator is to invite misery and oppression as individuals and as
a nation of believers. Mankind is only truly freed up for progress by
living in accordance with his God given instincts, and within a
system given by onr Creator. To accept otherwise is to invoke the
wrath of our Creator and to live in a constant round of inefficiency,
as man chases yet another man made system, the systems of insecurity
and doubt.
Man progresses through thought only....
