Man on earth must have some aims or targets to work for achieving. The most crucial aim is considering why he has been created as long as he has a creator. Therefore, religion has come in the core of man’s life. Heavenly religions have been revealed by Allah, Almighty, ever since the advent of man on earth. These religions have set the right path for man to tread. They mainly include regulations of faith.
Islam is the last or final message conveyed in Qur’an by Gabriel, the Angel. to Prophet Muhammad – peace and prayers are upon him.
True enough, Islam has prescribed a comprehensive approach that governs the human behaviour as regards his relation with Allah- High and Exalted; with people and even with ecology and environment.
Concerning man’s relations with Allah, Glorified and Exalted, Islam is based on Monotheism, i.e. the belief in the oneness of God as it has been clearly stated in Islamic expression of witnessing. It is testifying that “there is no God but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger and Slave”. From standpoint of Monotheism, man has to obey and worship Allah alone, and not to ascribe to Him any other partner.
With respect to human relations, Islam has pinpointed certain rules governing this relations. These rules encompass fairness, kindness and friendship among people. In order to make fair commercial transactions, dealings have to avoid cheating and usury. Alms have been imposed for the sake of helping the poor. Even ecology and animals are considered in Islam. Man is prevented from torturing animals and distorting plant.
These and other beneficial regulations are inherent in Islam and they are set for Man’s happiness on earth and hereafter.
However, there remains the methodology of preaching Islam. An Islamic preacher should enjoy some necessary characteristics. First of all, he must be implementing by himself what he wants people to carry out. This proves that he is sincere in his beliefs. Moreover, he has to be kind enough to admonish to Islam in delicate ways and to avoid coercion. Above all, he should possess the true and deep knowledge about Islam so as to preach what is right.
Further and foremost, the last resort is to the divine guidance of Allah, Glorified and Exalted. Allah guides to Islam whosoever He wills.
