Uniqueness of Islamic Message

Islamic Message
A unique characteristic of Islamic is message is that it is a serious message aims at achieving a clear objective.
 From the time of its emergence and throughout its development, it pronounces one clear rule, and invites to one specific end, i.e. worship Allah alone.
 At the same time, it recognizes man’s love for worldly life, and its wealth and pleasure. It also does not demand him to ignore or forsake these natural human drives; rather, it  teaches him that what Allah wants for him is far greater and superior than his immediate urges, even though the cost may outwardly seem exorbitant; however, unthinkable reward lies ahead, in this life, or in the hereafter, or in both of them.

Misquoting Islamic Concepts

Misquoting Islamic Concepts



 It seems that richness of Islamic thought has incited some individuals -sometimes even children- to use Islamic quotes to validate their unjustifiable behavior and attitudes.  
When a teacher asked her fourth-grade student who asked for permission to go out of class ‘why she wanted to go out of class,’ the student replied, “From the excellence of a man’s Islam is leaving that which does not concern him.”

Misquoting Islamic concepts has become a tool used by some individuals to justify unacceptable behavior and baseless understanding.
The student misquoted the hadith in which abû Hurayra reported that the Prophetﷺ said, 
“From the excellence of a man’s Islam is leaving that which does not concern him.” Sunan ibn Mãjah
