Islam - An Absolute Savior

• It is indeed an awful fact that modern society cares too much for the flesh
  while leaving the spirit to take care of itself. This conflict is derived
  principally from the desire of meeting the demand of flesh out of economic
  consideration, while least attention is focused on meeting the needs of
  spirit. In other words, fulfilling the worldly desires has a complete
  domination over nurturing the soul, which will provide the reward in the
  eternal world.
  
• The present day lust for wealth, status, dignity and power have penetrated
  so much in the society that purpose of the creation has been conveniently
  ignored and emphasis is given to material values. In this rat race, the
  noble profession such as teaching, medicine and law, which once upheld the
  monetary consideration, have become victim to the commercialism.
  
• In the business world, the monetary consideration holds supreme value,
  while ethical and moral values are crushed at the cost of achieving desired
  material gain. In this regard, the temptation of accumulating wealth is so
  strong that corrupt and fraudulent practices have become acceptable norms.
  With the wider gap between the rich and poor, the sins are bound to occur
  at both levels. The elite class has to satisfy their wants and all possible
  sinful deeds are committed to achieve them. On the other hand, poor class
  is confronted with great difficulties in life are destined to follow wrong
  door to meet their desire. The accumulation of wealth has no boundary and
  process goes on at much faster speed while it is never realized that this
  wealth is temporary.
  
• The modern society under the influence of western life style completely
  disregards the moral values and the evils of single parent hood, liquor,
  gays and recently coloning of human beings are the issues, which have led
  to the debacle in the world.
  
• Having said all this, we can say that humanity is inflicting its death by
  virtue of self- desired love of materialism and there definitely needs a
  remedy to combat the evils of modern society. Islam is a religion that
  provides us guidance to adopt righteous path and if the teachings of Islam
  are abided by within the code of supreme law, people can emancipate from
  the worst kind of evil forces. Islam in general advocates the principles of
  equality, humility, self-respect, honesty, charity and dignity etc. which
  if applied in day to day life could bring about revolutionary changes in
  this mortal world. If we comprehend the teachings of Islam through in-depth
  analysis, we would discover a sense of purpose in life and we will derive
  mental peace and ecstasy by submission to the will of Allah.
  
• The Western philosophy of life is meant to satisfy the requirement of flesh
  whereas the Islamic ideology is based on the concept of fulfilling the
  worldly demands while simultaneously taking care of spiritual needs. Islam
  recommends regulation rather than suppression. It allows natural urges such
  as love of wealth, fondness and beauty etc. within the guarded course of
  limit. That is why the Prophet (SAW) once said, "The best is the middle
  course". It is noticeable that world has strayed by staying away from the
  middle course, and one can witness the consequences of disobeying the law
  of nature and the teachings of the Holy Quran.
  
• Moreover, the straying from the right path has led to all sorts of mental
  depression and psychological problems, which can only be eliminated by
  supplication to the Almighty Allah.
  
• We mumineen are fortunate to have been blessed with the barakat and
  sa'adaat under the Sayaa of our ruhani bawaa shafiq Syedna wa Moulana
  Mohammad Burhanuddin Saheb (TUS) whose enlightened guidance to abide by the
  Sharia'a Muhammadi in this westernized atmosphere, is a reflection of power
  of spiritual love and affection. May Allah Subhanau grant our beloved Aqa
  Maula (TUS) a long, healthy and prosperous life ta roze qayamat (Ameen).
