Identify yourself
Wrote by: Muhammad J Sarwar
It is extremely difficult to find the reality behind the creation of the Universe. Human is not capable to answer why this occurrence happened. The story starts from Adam and Eve came into the Earth and the first time they presented the name of this beautiful macrocosm and the only is Almighty "Allah". With the passage of time, GOD sent Prophets to different regions on our Planet. All Prophets gave the message of Divine, Education, Equality, Faith, Humanity, Love, Life after death, Rights, respect for Relationships, and Sacrifice. No doubt, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the last owner able Prophet and Quran is the Holy book or the message of Allah (SWT).
We are in 21 century now, life is going very fast and people are working like a machine. We really forgot about the real purpose of life, why we came to this globe and what our creator actually wants from us? Why human beings are the most evolved of all creation? We do not have a few minutes to think about all these questions.
In addition, the man of the earth has been materialistic now and it tends to increased various issues in society. Such as aggressiveness, cruelty, Egotism, dishonesty, frustration, greediness, individualism, meanness, supremacy, status consciousness, zero-tolerance, etc. I am sorry to say all this, but that is a picture of our civilized society today. All these ethics and behaviors can easily see in daily routine life, for instance, how people react on dinner and in marriage ceremonies, increase the speed of the vehicle when suddenly see a person is going to cross the road.
Furthermore, the branded items considered as status symbols instead of education and personal traits. We listen to respond only then to understand other's opinions or advice. Increase the volume of music without caring for neighbored rights. Almost everyone is trying to become superior to others. Respect gives to the prestigious profession to proletarian. It is hard for a woman to work in a male chauvinist community especially in under developing countries, where survival is tough because of the low wage rates and poor economic conditions. Unethical practices, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, restroom gossips, and security problems can look easily in a working environment.
Similarly, we did not spare the educational sector as well. This is the only way to develop not only a well-organized nation also a good human for society. But institutions only producing servants, not leaders, youngsters just go to school for the sake of getting certifications for the better job and earnings.
Likewise, health, food, and shelters are profitable businesses for investors without maintaining standards. Generally speaking, we de-railed from the right track, I am sorry to say this but it is true. Who will show us the accurate path for a better living, the answer is with the help of the Holy Quran and Sunnah of The great Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Being a Prophet and Messenger of Allah (SWT), Muhammad (SAW) delivered the message of Allah Almighty, explained it and applied it to Himself and on His family. Muhammad (SAW) is the human being of excellent morals and character, so if we want to lead a successful life then we should follow the path explained by Prophet Muhammad (SAW). His whole life is a perfect role model for us. Muhammad (PBUH) educate the people about Worship for Allah, Pillars of Islam, Humanity, Religion, Love, Relationships, Social life, Business, Honesty, Foreign affairs, Rule of Laws, Human rights, Respect for Woman in Islam, Economic system, caring about Orphans, showed us the right path, gave the lesson of sacrifice for others, treat everyone with kind behavior, even very polite with his enemies. I must say, explained everything which is necessary for a successful life and getting peace in Heaven.
Even we have a great personality and his wonderful life, it is very easy for the whole mankind to study the personality of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and also his life, and can find about work-life balance, social values, relationships, as well as, trade, business ethics and foundation of a Good form of Government. After all findings, we can get almost the solution of every problem facing the whole world today.
For instance, a very famous writer, Michael H. Hart wrote a book known as, “100 most influential personalities in the world. He mentioned the name of Prophet Muhammad on the Top, I mean, First one.
Furthermore, many other authors, poets, scholars praised him in their books, literature, and poetry. It looks like that, he is a supreme personality of this universe, regarding his justice, love for all, respect for all religions, a great leader, kindness, truthful, honest and even words are short to explain his character.
Therefore, we all have the answer to every question in the farm of the Holy Quran and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Then why not, we try to find, because we have time for cell phones and social media, but have no few minutes to for book reading and findings. Even most of the nations, those are on the top for their success, they got a high rank among others only for their continued research and books reading. It is a fantastic practice to enhance not only our personal growth also a good source to get knowledge and to deliver social awareness to others. Social media can play a vital role to spread quality literature with friends, colleagues, relatives, students and other audiences, but after a deep knowledge with proper research with references.
In fact, the publications of well-known, religionists, scientists, philosophers, poets, social activists, teachers, researchers, writers, and leaders would be helpful to encourage the people to come on the right path.
Last but not least, how the earth can a peaceful place for all, who, how and whom, I think, no one has the exact answer. We all want change, but no one wants to change himself. He all have the worry of others’ heaven or hell, not ours. Why we interfere with other’s life, even we do not have rights, and why we do not see inside, everyone born in this cosmos is free, why we bond someone in form of rituals, cultural values, and unethical things. This is not fair, freedom the fundamental virtue of all. Let the people live their life on this universal principle but within ethics and the limits explained by every doctrine. Because every religion of the world gives the lesson of care, ethics, equality, freedom, humanity, love, peace, etc. on the other hand, it also restricts for brutal behavior, dishonesty, dispute, fraud, lying, disrespect of elders, injustice, oppressiveness, malicious communications among people and all those acts which are destructive for the society and the mankind. It is time to consider and take serious actions against all those immoral practices happening in society. First, we all need to change ourselves from mistakes, and then, should start brainstorming, thinking about why it happened. Likewise, another step is reading good books, consult the problem with scholars, philosophers, and elders. After analyzing, researching, and getting the solution, the most difficult part is accepting by heart and brain. All steps will lead to change. It is not easy but possible. Lastly, communication with others is also important of all of us. Delivering knowledge is a first-class way to spread the message in society. When community change, it means the whole Nation is going towards development not only individually also culturally, humanly, psychologically and socially.
Homo sapiens will start feeling secure and enjoy their lives happily without any fear, threat and stress. Our Globe will be the most peaceful place for living just like Heaven.
