THE MUSLIM MAN
SLAVE OF ALLAH
TEGUH: The split personality is one of the greatest dangers that Muslims are currently facing. We are often overzealous in some matters but negligent in others. Examples: (1) we devote much time to worship and attending ceramah (talks), but are neglecting our children’s upbringing; (2) taking good care of our children but mistreating our parents; (3) treating our wives with respect but unfriendly with our neighbours; (4) paying attention to our own private life but ignoring the welfare of the Muslim community at large.
AKHTAR: It is strange that these shortcomings exist even among some of those who are regarded as playing an active role in Islamic dakwah. One often notices people who pray devotedly in the mosque, but are dealing with riba (usury or interest). These people are afflicted by a severe misunderstanding of the reality of Islam.
MULIA: Allah did not reveal this religion of Islam just for scared words through the recitation of which people might seek blessings without understanding their significance. Allah revealed this Islamic religion to govern the life of the individual, his family and his society at large, to be a beacon that will lead the people out of darkness into light.
FAEZ: To mould individuals who would embody Islam. Wherever they are in this world, they show exemplary way of life. When people see this unique life style embodied in sincere, believing individuals, these people will embrace Islam in crowds. InsyAllah.
TEGUH: Islam requires, first and foremost, a Muslim to be a true and sincere believer in Allah. He is in constant need of the help and support of Allah, no matter how much he may think he can do for himself. He submits that it is the Almighty Allah Who is in control of the affairs of the universe and of mankind.
AKHTAR: He never transgresses the limits, and he follows Allah’s commands and guidance even though when they are contrary to his own desires.
MULIA: Muslim is convinced that belief in the will and decree of Allah is one of the pillars of faith. Whatever befalls him in life is well intended. If he goes through a time of ease, he will give thanks to Allah for His bounty, and if he goes through hardship he will bear it with patience and fortitude.
FAEZ: May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad (saw), his family and companions. Ameen!
