THE MEANING OF TOTALITARIANISM IN ISLAM

Islam totalitarianism means that Islam is an integrated approach, comprehensive
legislation to all areas of life; it is faith and work, belief and shariah, worship and
treatment, thought and emotion as well as morals and reconstruction.

And the poor who understands that Islam accepts from muslims that Muhammad the
Messenger of Allah is their Imam in the prayer; then do not hurt them afterward that
Karl Marx was ahead of them in the economy.

Islam has a full economic approach, integrated political approach, and full curriculum
Reform in all areas of life……this approach which achieves happiness to human in
this world and does not forget his return in the hereafter.

So; Islam is a comprehensive religion, it is the religion, state, gain, wealth, justice, and
Judgment; Islam is everything in life.

We mean totalitarianism here rules, laws and systems that regulate the life of the
Individual, family, community and nation, and I do not think that the companions of
the Messenger of Allah was as monks at night and daytime knights except for their
success in achieving this devotional rites rituals linking of prayer, fasting and other
social rituals which show their effects in real life of people, they spend their night
bowing down to Allah in prayer, as their hearts and organs prostrating to Allah in the
niche of life in a useful work can serve all around them; hence the delightful
consistency and supplementing mating is between the works of world and its affairs
as well as looking ahead to after life and its spiritualties.

So, life was around them reacts to them and work with them, understanding a meaning
which explains the meaning; so life pronounced with them around them by the most
beautiful words reflected in their silence before their pronunciation and in their calm
before their movement, they have lived long enough to promote growth on earth as
they did and also to leave us a civilization and architecture cannot be denied, but
ungrateful.

The incurable disease that hit this nation figured as the defect is in the correct
understanding of the principle of universality in Islam, I mean with totalitarianism
here that Islam as heavenly religion; the wise almighty Allah meets human need to
organize him all the affairs of life; because that Allah put to human the total rules and
general assets that accommodate space and time and did not mention all the molecules
of life and left to the jurisprudence of human according to the needs of his time, and
that the imperfect perception of the concept of universality of Islam is the one which
Produced this misconception that symptoms appeared in different classes of society.

The universality of Prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him- character:
The human mind confused while he teaches personal aspects of the greatest creation
"Muhammad -peace be upon him- , and the things that boggle the researcher of his
Character are a lot, but the most perplexing things for us and other non muslims is:
That inclusiveness, diversity and balance in the character of the prophet Muhammad -
peace be upon him- multiple universality makes him unique, not by humans but even
through all the apostles, the character of prophet represented in it all aspects of life,
and not every messenger has had such that, the Messenger -peace be upon him -was
a father, not every messenger was a father, and he was a husband, not every
messenger married, he was the president of the state and its founder, not every
messenger has established a state, and the messenger was the supreme commander of
the army of Islam and strong warrior, not every messenger had fought; the messenger
is sent to humanity in general, the messenger legislated to the humanity with Allah's
order what they need in all sides of life; doctrinal, devotion, economic, social, moral,
and political, Allah did not send a messenger to humanity in general but him, the
messenger was the consultant, judge, educator, teacher, polite, worshipper, ascetic,
patient and merciful to the last of his features -peace be upon him- that comprehended
all aspects of life.

Responding to the question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:

Islam is all for treating our parents, relatives and friends compassionately. As a Muslimah, it is your duty to be most gentle and kind to them, especially your parents. Allah says, (Keep their company with kindness in this world, and follow the path of him who turns to Me. Then unto Me will you return, and I shall tell you what you did.) (Luqman 31: 15)

Keeping good company of one’s parents includes accepting their invitations, eating with them all foods that are permissible for us to consume, which excludes pork, intoxicants, and that which has been immolated to idols. You are allowed to participate in the festivities of Christmas or holiday seasons on condition that you abstain from specific religious rituals associated with them, if any.

As Muslims we revere Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) as one of the mighty messengers of Allah; we would have certainly celebrated the same, if only it had been a tradition established by Jesus and his authentic disciples. We certainly know that was not the case. It is all too well known that celebration of Christmas was introduced into Christianity in the manner of the pagan cultic rituals prevailing in the lands that the Christians conquered and as such, it is not something to be cherished as an authentic Christian festival.

Muslims refuse to deify not only Prophet Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) but anyone else for that matter including Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). We believe in all prophets, and consider them all as preaching the same essential message: Do not worship any other gods but Allah.

It would certainly be a good idea for you to broach this topic with your parents in one of their gentler moments.

Lastly, continue to pray to Allah to open the hearts of your parents to the truth, for He alone guides (people) to Truth. Ameen.
