The future belongs to Islam



The future belongs to Islam

All praise is due to Allaah. May His peace and blessings be upon
Prophet Muhammad, his household and companions.

Brothers in faith! Be dutiful to Allaah, for that is the best
provision and the surest way to salvation on the Day of Resurrection.

Fellow Muslims! Things turn upside-down when those who follow
destructive and erroneous sects and beliefs falsely assume that theirs
is the true faith and that the good ending and the future belongs
exclusively to them. However, the fact that men of reason and
understanding do not dispute, is that the future belongs to the
religion of Islam; that it shall prevail over all other beliefs, for
it is the only true religion that Allaah has perfected for His slaves,
with which He has completed His favor upon them and which He has
chosen for them as religion. He Says (what means):

“This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My
favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as your
religion.” [Quran 5:3]


No wonder then dear brothers, that Islam enjoys such a distinguished
position. This is because it is a religion that is full of innumerable
qualities.

The future belongs to Islam, for it is the religion with which Allaah
raised the status of man and honored him. He informed us in His
Speech, which is the most-truthful of all speech, that He created man
with His two Hands, breathed of His soul in him and made the angels
prostrate before him. He honored man by subjecting him to His worship
Alone, for there is no deity worthy of worship except Him, glorified
are His Names and Attributes. He honored him by subjecting all that is
in heavens and earth to him and gave him innumerable other blessings.


The future belongs to Islam, because it is the only religion whose
message is characterised by pure monotheism, which agrees with the
laws of nature and sound opinion. It is through Islam that Allaah made
lawful for His slaves all good and useful things and prohibited all
filthy and harmful matters. Removed from this Ummah (Muslims) are the
heavy burden and fetters that were upon those who came before them --
such as strictness in matters of religion; for example, the imposition
of self-killing as an atonement for sin, cutting the part of the body
used for committing an impure act, purifying a cloth by cutting off
the place of filth with scissors, compulsory implementation of the law
of equity in murder cases (with no option of paying blood money or
pardon, whether the killing was intentional or accidental) and
prohibition of taking war booty.


All the above restrictions were removed by Allaah from this Ummah by
His Mercy. He Says (what means): “Those who follow the Messenger, the
unlettered Prophet, whom they find written [i.e. mentioned] in what
they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is
right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the
good things and prohibits for them the evil, and relieves them of
their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have
believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light
which was sent down with him – it is those who will be
successful.” [Quran 7:157]


The future belongs to Islam because in it, Allaah firmly laid the
basis of a sound social system that is well-established like a firm
structure. He established through Islam that unique society described
by the Prophet , in the most eloquent way thus: “The similitude of the
believers in regard to mutual love, affection and mutual-compassion is
that of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body shares the
agony, sleeplessness and fever that arises from it.” [Al-Bukhaari and
Muslim]


The future belongs to Islam because it is the religion by which Allaah
firmly fixed the principles of justice among His creatures -- Muslims
and non-Muslims; Arabs and non-Arabs; black and white; male and
female; young and old. He prescribed for each group its rights and
duties -- a quality that is non-existent in any of the man-made
systems and ideologies that most people follow and respect. These
ideologies are full of deficiencies and are restricted to a particular
place and time or the personal or national interests of those who
formulated them.


The future is for Islam, for it is the religion with which Allaah
preserves people’s lives, properties, honor and minds. He prohibits
all killing of life except for a just cause, forbids the defamation of
a person’s honor, disallows all that could affect the soundness of
people’s minds such as narcotics and intoxicants and forbids the
usurpation of properties unjustly. All this Allaah does through Islam,
in order to protect the social structure of this Ummah from
disintegrating.


There is no wonder then that a great and honorable future belongs to
this religion. No amount of deception from the enemies of Islam, or
their increasing assaults on the Muslims with their cavalry, infantry
and wealth, nor their oppression such as killing and expelling people
from their lands -- as the Jews do today, can weaken the firm bonds of
this religion or disrupt its structure. For, the future is for Islam
and the Muslims Inshaa’ Allaah and the victory belongs to Allaah and
His Messenger , and to the truthful and persevering Muslims -- those
who know with certainty that victory comes with perseverance, relief
comes after sorrow and that with every difficulty there is ease.
Allaah Says (what means): “They want to extinguish the light of Allaah
with their mouths, but Allaah refuses except to perfect His light,
although the disbelievers hate it.” [Quran 9: 32].


Brothers in faith! If this Ummah wishes to attain the promised victory
and be well-established on the land, it should truly practice Islam by
giving Allaah His right of worship with all sincerity and completely
abstain from associating anything with Him in acts of worship. It
should implement His Law and submit to His Judgment in all matters and
be pleased with that. It is then that the whole of humankind will have
felicity -- and the rightly-guided leadership will become that of
Islam, the religion of Allaah, the Omniscient, the All-Wise, the All-
Knowing.
