Islam is the last Abrahamic religion, and it is the last religion with a revealed book. Islam is the Arabic word for peace. The rules of Islam are based on the teachings of the Holy Quran which is the final words of God, and the sayings of Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).
Islam is the only religion in the world which offers the solution to all the problems that the world is facing today. It was applicable 1400 years ago, it is applicable now, and it will remain applicable till the end of the world.
Today, Islam and its followers, who are called the Muslims, are facing a lot of resistance and criticism. They are being called terrorists all over the world. The reason for this is that many non believers are not ready to accept the rules of Islam because the rules of Islam are not according to the desires of the humans who follow the cravings of their hearts. Such people can never tolerate the rules of Islam unless they start practicing them.
Actually, Islam is a religion for the humans. It favors the weak ones and believes in equality. It opposes the oppression. It does not allow you to follow the path of your desires. You are not supposed to rob others to fulfill your desires. You are not allowed to even look at the women who are not your close relatives. Wine is not allowed, bribery is not allowed, talking badly about others is not allowed and there are several other things that people do, but they are not allowed, and although there are rewards for all these things, but the humans are always impatient. Instead of having long term pleasures in the future, they go for momentary ones in the present.
For these reasons, the people who are not Muslims, and even those who are born as Muslims but do not have the knowledge about Islam, think that the religion needs some modification before it can be implemented in the modern world as a law. They think that the rules of Islam cannot be applied unless there is some modification in these rules. What these people never realize is that Islam is the only religion that has solutions for all the problems that mankind is facing today. What they are afraid of is that they won’t be able to live according to their wishes.
Today, there is chaos and tension everywhere in the world. The basic system of governance i.e. the democracy has failed already. The law has failed to bring real peace that we desire. There is poverty and war everywhere. Everyone is suffering. The life of an individual has become a mess. In these conditions, only Islam can save them.
If people think that Islam needs to be changed to bring it at par with the west, it is just the fear of unknown. People don’t even know Islam, and that is why they say such things. If we change even one law of Islam and implement it, then it won’t be Islam, and it will be some other thing.
So, it is not Islam that needs to be changed. It is the mental approach and vision of people that need to be changed.
