SPIRIT OF ISLAM MARCH 2O18

32 Spirit of Islam Issue 63 March 2018 is absolutely wrong, for the very mission of the prophets was to guide people to goodness and what is right. When Islam is made out to be a political ideology, then quite naturally, the Islamic community is made out to be a political party. Amongst such a party, worship is reduced to a preface to politics. Piety and spiritual excellence come to be shaped in a distinctly political mould. Witnessing to the truth becomes a political act. In other words, in this political interpretation of Islam the whole of the religion of Islam wrongly comes to be seen as a collection of parts whose individual and collective significance cannot be understood without linking them with politics. The above mentioned two reasons of historical exigency and the political interpretation develop the mindset of militancy in its followers. The solution to this is to present Islam as it is from the original sources, the Quran and the life and teachings of the Prophet. CPS International is devoted to this work with teams all over the world and it invites all the peace loving people to join hands in spreading the ideology of peace. o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about non-receipt of their copies, latest by 15 th of the month, providing their full name and address.
