What the world doesn't know about Islam!

The second most followed religion on Earth is Islam and almost 32% of the world population is Muslim.

This blog post is about communicating the facts, or info or theories of Islam which most of us don't know actually.

Apart from the topic of the blog post, it's only due to lack of having knowledge on anything people take decision just only on the basis of assumptions. Assumptions are almost false. Something like this happened with me as well where I had to lose someone just because of the false assumptions people for in their heads and due to the lack of information on anything just others suffer as a result.

Back to the topic, for many of us Islam is regarded as the religion which is very strict, which is very much rigid, blunt and also the belief system is almost false .

What I want to say is, evaluate religion on the basis of its own directly available information but not on the basis of people who practice it.

If a person fails in a exam it's not because the exam is tough but it's because of the low effort that person cannot pass in religion. 

Many of us take religion for granted, try to find loopholes in it, understand the purpose of things in totally different way, stay away from putting effort to understand it better.

Islam is a very tough religion I must say. I practice it through hard work, determination and dedication. The rules are so strict for you to obey or get sinned. Things are already prescribed and then one has to learn and follow, if anyone is unaware of the information it's his or her own loss. 

In Islam things often seems to be so rigid and terrifying but what I can say is it's focused on the greater good. 

Imagine a world where everyone is practicing the same activities and actions which they've learnt, there wouldn't be socio cultural problems or difference in living etc which is why there is so much of difference in each one of us. Although every person is different but there had to be shared values and common goal that's what it is with Islam...

Religions are beautiful and good it's only we humans make it worst. The holiest book in Islam is The Qur'an, other scriptures are also found to be sacred are Tazbi, Sharia law, sunnat books on how to lead daily lives which are written by some of the leading sufi saints like Bukhari, Muslim, Sunan Ibn e naai and majah.

In Islam there are 5 pillars which any muslim has to accomplish at any cost

-Pray 5 times daily

- believe that Allah is only one and Muhammad PBUH is the messenger

- Perform Hajj at least once in lifetime by going to Mecca

- pay the charity by 2.5% of the earnings yearly it's known as zakaat

- fasting in the month of Ramzan

Although this happens to be the core life goals any muslim will be born with, to accomplish it at some point in his/her own life with priority.

Apart from the above 5 goals, there are millions of best practices available, to do and accomplish things, leading daily lives, on wisdom, stories, decision making, leadership, purpose, righteousness, trust development, living a life of content, understanding the purpose of life, living with values, and what not including galaxies, solar system, artificial intelligence, robots, politics, corruption, science all everything is covered in Islam to the depth in a precise manner.

I always come across people which various misconceptions about myself as well as Islam. Although it's very much expected as there aren't any such sources available for anyone to bank on. Not only on Islam for any religion the right sources to bank on is lessening day by day. The preists happens to be the most profitable people who bank on the name of religion.

Let's start with the things which I believe the world's has to know 

- Islam is guided by Sharia law, it's a rule book code of conduct and ethics which includes laws for conducting religion. It's the strictest rule book across the world. It's implemented by very few countries including Brunei, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iran, Iraq and other few countries.  It's so strict that a person who thefts anything is ordered to cut of his hands etc. 

- Islam doesn't accept lies in any possible scenarios be it the worst situation may be. It's always advised to follow the truth and do as much justice as possible keeping in mind the situation of the person and treat the same way you wanna get treated

- In Islam, unlike other religions - in marriages the groom has to pay for the bride's marriage as a social security, and dowry is prohibited in its strictest form. It's so strict that the signing authority doesn't sign the documents unless it's been paid either in cash or in kind form in front of the signing authority, else it's requested to call of the marriage. 

- Islam talks about priority and dedication to the mother land where you've born rather than the places like Mecca or Madina which are the holiest sites on Earth.

- Islam believes that there this world and other 6 world's which are into existence along with human ecosystem like jinn, fairies, ghosts and others are still unknown to me (still researching on them). There are also 7 skies one above the other which eventually leads upto heavens

- it's paranormal, whatever you do in this ecosystem, will also get affected in the other ecosystem of living beings. They'll not hurt you or you'll not be able to feel them unless you've affected them positively on negatively

- Islam believes that there are 2 lives, one life which you're living here and other life is after the death which is eternal life. Primarily this life is a test. 

- there's a concept of Judgement day or Doomsday or last day of the world where everything is destroyed and people are evaluated on the basis of their good and bad deeds on this day and allotted either heaven or hell as their final abode.

- Islam doesn't preach interest on loans rather it asks for a particular lumpsum amount with one time settlement that too at the will of the debtor than than the creditor, but the creditor can exercise full rights on whether to disburse credit or not.

- Islam asks to invest invest invest in whatever way possible without any expectations from the direct benefits one may get yet he/she will be rewarded ok the basis of good deeds they've done not only in this life but also in the eternal life.

- Islam rewards people on the basis of good thoughts, having a great soft heart which is good for the society, if the thoughts are converted to actions well and good other wise he/she'll still be rewarded for it.

- Islam asks people to do greater good then just do good things. In a way that it's mutually beneficial for anyone, be it loss making to one's own self but not to others.

- Islam asks people to help and support in whatever way they can in the best way possible not only for the rich but also to the people who are below poverty line as unless suported to others you and your ecosystem would not thrive and gain good results.

- Zakat is a form of tax payment which is calculated as 2.5% of the total income earned as a profit or in excess on precious things available such as gold, diamond, running business, platinum and other stuff.

- Islam preaches and encourages people to do things, practically and experience it 

- it's practised that while performing namaz you need to face yourself at the sun set zone be wherever you be in the world

- there are very many particular ways and methods which needs to be practiced for the part of getting our wishes accepted

- Islam describes heaven as such a place which the mankind hasn't ever dreamt of it or seen it anywhere or built it there isn't much description except the fact that I'm heaven everyone will be of same age, time is so long that it'll be just few minutes when our whole life is converted to heaven timings, and a place where under the garden water flows yet you'll not get wet.

- In Islam, males are asked to do circumcision in order to avoid cancer related to it as it's a kind of disease which many people deal with and it often goes unreported. 

Women's rights in Islam

- there are 2 ways of a divorce Talaq and Qula. Talaq is originated from the male counterparts which involves proper justification counseling and equal opportunity for both partners to get back together by mutually discussing terms. Whereas in Qula it's originated from The female's side ad it's instantly applicable since the time it's announced and doesn't require to spend time on counseling etc as described in situations of Talaq

- women are asked to get educated more than the make counterparts as a good educated girl can contribute towards building a greater society unlike men

- In case a father has a property, women also get their due share applicable as per the Sharia law and are not at all discriminated.

- Women has the right to select the husbands based on their will and wish but doesn't suggest to go against the parents wish as parents invest a great deal of it raising children and if you're able to justify going against your parents will have a strong point towards it

- Women are so sacred in Islam that when a girl/lady is denoted by saying that there's heaven under mother's feet. It talks about the value that person holds in rhe ecosystem and as well as in one's life and fathers are considered to be the middlemost doors of the heavens. It's significance is that you'll not be able to achieve heavens for whatever good you do if it is at the cost of your parents d that's why it's asked to righteously provide love care and respect to parents. 

- Islam doesn't preach to hold wealth, except for what is essentially required. Having too much of material wealth would dismay the purpose of activities and life which would affect the whole ecosystem 

- Islam talks about being rightful in any situation and seek knowledge on what's right and what's not right. Having not known what's right and wrong is one of the biggest failure as a person or man or women

- patience is the key, patience is rewarded not only in this life but also in eternal life. Let me give an example, if you're facing a loss tell yourself that this loss is nothing or very less as I'd be able to do nothing if it was much higher. It's better that this loss is manageable. 

How much ever bigger the loss be.

- Islam talks about keeping god on the forefront with priority.

- when married Islam asks the husband to give priority to his wife and wife to her husband but not cut off relationships with kins

- Islam says to save money as much as possible and weed out materialistic wealth than what's essential. Having excess will caue your heart to rust.

- there's a thin difference between what's needed and what's wanted. Islam asks to focus on needs without which life can't be lived where as wants can be asked scheduled when those becomes needs
