I strongly believe that success of all human beings can be possible through the right beliefs of Quran and Sunnah. The entire Muslim world also believes so, and then what is the reason for different sect (group) in Islam? Here the right and wrong in Islam is distinguished.
Yes, Allah will accept only one religion that is ISLAM which is explained clearly by Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) through his life and understood by his followers that is Salaf. They understood Islam straight from prophet (pbuh). It is widely admitted that the way of prophet’s life should be inculcated by all Muslims in their every aspect of life. There were enough role models in Islam during Sahabat, the first generation of prophet (pbuh).
It’s relevant that no ideology can survive but Islam, because it’s from the revelation of the Almighty, the Self Sufficient. Like all ideologies, all innovations, new way of da’wah, deviating from Prophet (pbuh) also will go ultimately in ashtray. Let Allah save us.
There are many sect derived in the name of Islam with different intentions by forgetting the fundamental principle of Islam that is “Thouhid” there is no God but Allah. If we are analyzing the reason and the source of this entire new sect, finally we will reach in to Jews, the Zionist who experimenting in laboratories to destruct the Islam in its true beliefs and true practises. Shia is a best example for the Zionist influence. From Shia’s religion and the Zionist , many practices has come to other sect of Muslims e.g. Ideal worship, Hukumathe Ilahi , the latest one Islamic Feminism, the woman reading of Quran, consensus of public interest for Da’wah (preaching) etc. If we are examining this, without any prejudice we can understand that all these innovations are apparently a deviation from the Quran and the Sunna. MahadhAllah.
Being a Muslim, not the name sake of Muslim, we should not hesitate to say about the true Islam, its beliefs and practises, to the world even they hatred us, as the prophets had prophesied to their people. Allah may bless us.

I do not think that Islam, as a practical matter i.e. as practiced by actual Muslims, was ever perfect or even can be perfect.

First Question i wanna ask to Zack that r u a muslim or not?
if yes then u must have conviction that Islam is a complete and comprehensive religion and if it is not complete then y God said tat its a guide book until the “Judgement Day”.
Muslims are condemned all over the world bcz of u kind of people.
Holy prophet said that i have complete Islam and cannot be modified and he made his witness to the God for this.
So plz think twice next time when u write these kind of articles.
In islam women cannot lead prayer …….cannot means connot…ok
dont call this act as modernization…….its ignorance…

This is the story of Imran who can’t pray in a mosque now because his experience at a mosque last Ramadan haunts him.

Prophet Muhammad’s wife Aisha has been one of the leading narrators of Hadith and a great teacher of religion to common Muslims. Even men came to her for guidance. So the role of women is there, though it has not usually been out in the front field rather more behind the scenes.

Then I guess the fault lies with us too that we do not highlight the role of women and usually limit them to the roles society has created for them.

Dad: Your comments require a long and thoughtful response. So it will have to wait for now.

Some authors/supporters of modern/enlightened Islam appear to be selling the idea what was written in Qur’aan or said/done by Prophet Muhammad, SAS, over 1400 years ago may not apply to the developed world of today. Allah, SWT, directs His Messenger (Muhammad, SAS) to tell people, “(Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell for ever“ Sura 72, Al-Jinn, verse 23 which proves that Prophet, SAS always conveyed to people directions/messages received from Allah and nothing of his own. Thinking that Qur’aan and Hadith/Sunna, being over 1400 years old and not applicable today would mean that (na-oodh billahi min zaalik) Allah didn’t know what was to happen after 1400 years what to say of the Day of Judgment that may take place after time unknown. Thus, where does our belief in Allah stand ?

The problem is that our involvement in materialism has taken us away from the spirit of Islam and we have become more ritualistic than seekers of Allah’s pleasure.

Qur’aan supported by Hadith/Sunna gives the most comprehensive constitution of the best way of life for human beings and guarantees amicable rights to all. Most of us think that Islam means Kalima, Slaat, Saum, Zakat, Hajj. Many do not implement the spirit behind even these five fundamentals. It is, generally, ignored that Allah, SWT, has emphasized over 25 other characteristics for becoming a Muslim. These are Haqooq-ul-Ibaad (about behaviour of a Muslim in private, in public, as an official of a government / non-government organization, as sibling / parent / child / neighbour / companion / partner, etc) which fully-well include rights of women. Oppression faced by women is result of our straying away from Islam and not because of being Muslim. Further, Qur’aan deals with all aspects of life including political, educational, economic and social. The irony is that we apply different rules to our education/business/employment/etc and to practicing Islam. Why ? Because we have become self-seekers in stead of seekers of Allah’s pleasure.

I refer to only some of the commandments that deal with behaviour of a Muslim: Sura 2 (Al-Baqara) Ayat 42,177, 188, 224, 263 & 283, Sura 3 (Aal-i-Imraan) Ayat 118-120, 130 & 175, Sura 4 (An-Nissaa) Ayat 19-21, 29, 30, 36, 58, 86, 92 & 135, Sura 5 (Al-Maaida) Ayat 2 & 8, Sura 6 (Al-In’aam) Ayat 119, Sura 16 (An-Nahal) Ayat 126, Sura 17 (Bani Israael) Ayat 23-26 & 35, Sura 21 (Al-Ankaboot) Ayat 29, Sura 22 (Al-Hajj) Ayat 11, Sura 25 (Al-Furqaan) Ayat 63–76, Sura 29 (Ankaboot) Ayat 2, Sura 31 (Luqmaan) Ayat 18-19, Sura 33 (Al-Ahzaab) Ayat 36& 58, Sura 49 (Al-Hujraat) Ayat 10 & 11, Sura 57 (Al-Hdeed) Ayat 23, Sura 61 (As-Suf) Ayat 2-3, Sura 83 (Al-Mutaffafeen) Ayat 1-6
