Another excellent article by our Lion. Check the link given below... http://livingislam.org/o/wcm_e.html BTW, LivingIslam.Org is very very good source for 'traditional' Islam! Enjoy...

Nice article but walking in streets of Pakistan you learn the East sticks to Religion and also craves Materialism. . Haji Sahiban do great business in Pakistan so do leaders of all these religious parties, not to forget the Maulana Deisel. In this day and age I guess whether any society is religious or not, all are materialistic.

Yeah! Instead of following materialism we should be following spiritualism. It's just about correcting our own 'self' (nafs) but in order to do that we first needs to know our faults. And I think that's why Hazrat Umar Farooq (RA) said, "Criticize and appraise yourself before you are criticized and appraised on The Day of Judgement. And weigh out your deeds before they are weighed out for you." I just love the following parts... "The greatest impact of believing in God for me, meant that I lost all fear of human beings. The Qur'an liberates man from man when it says that life and death and respect and humiliation are God's jurisdiction, so we do not have to bow before other human beings." "Whether they become practicing Muslims or believe in God is entirely a personal choice. As the Qur'an tells us there is "no compulsion in religion." However, they must arm themselves with knowledge as a weapon to fight extremism. Just by turning up their noses at extremism the problem is not going to be solved." "The Qur'an calls Muslims "the middle nation", not of extremes. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was told to simply give the message and not worry whether people converted or not, therefore, there is no question in Islam of forcing your opinions on anyone else." "If Pakistan's Westernized class starts to study Islam, not only will it be able to help society fight sectarianism and extremism, but it will also make them realize what a progressive religion Islam is. They will also be able to help the Western world by articulating Islamic concepts. Recently, Prince Charles accepted that the Western world can learn from Islam. But how can this happen if the group that is in the best position to project Islam gets its attitudes from the West and considers Islam backward? Islam is a universal religion and that is why our Prophet (peace be upon him) was called a Mercy for all mankind." Sir Imran Khan is really an scholar!
