DEMOCRACY DAY (Birth Anniversary of Prophet MOhammed (Peace be upon him)))

The inventor of the Democracy in the whole world was a Prophet Mohammed(peace be upon him). He instructed his companions that after his demise(taking veil from this world), they should ELECT their leader who would govern the Islamic state according to charter of laws stated by Islam, propagate Islam and look after the welfare and security of the people. The demonstration of the democracy was performed by first four leaders of Islam one after the other who governed the state in a most fantastic way and extended the state boundaries to a big country the area of which covered present day Saudi Arabia,Iraq,Iran,Syria,Egypt and Afghanistan. Let us celebrate the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammed(Pbuh) as a "Democracy Day"

WHY ISLAM ?

There are several reasons that Islam is the only religion on the earth which must be accepted by all human beings. Allah (GOD) has declared those not accepting Islam; as non-believers.

(1) All the religions are from Allah (GOD). Allah descended one after the other about 124000 prophets on the earth. Some of them were given divine scriptures. When the sins of the people are increased beyond the limit fixed by Allah, he sends a prophet to guide them to the straight path. The Satan is downgraded. The evil of the people of earth is reduced to a great extent. Such a purified state on the earth is maintained for some years. Then slowly and slowly, again sins of the people on the earth is increased. When it crosses the limit, once again another prophet is sent down on the earth. The earth and the people are purified again. This cycle of system is repeated again and again until the final prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) was arrived. (2) When a new prophet comes on the earth, he brings with him several laws. Everybody has to follow the laws of the prophet. A new prophet may either reform or abolish some laws of previous prophet according to the demand of the time as instructed and guided by Allah(God) with a divine inspiration. This is exactly same in the manner as it happens in the court of law of a state or country. In the state or country, when a new law is made replacing or reforming the old one, every citizen of that country has to follow the new law. Thus old law is quashed. Now it is crystal clear that Islam is the latest religion on the earth and prophet Mohammed(Pbuh) is the last prophet, every citizen on this earth must follow the rules and laws brought by Islam and its prophet. Is it not a logical statement to accept Islam? (3) The laws of a country are to be followed by the citizens. Some laws may be hard. Some may be very hard and some laws may be easy to follow but we have to obey them. Exactly in the same way, in a religion, some law may be hard, some may be very hard and some may be easy. But we have to follow them. What a strange thing it is that we are arguing against the laws set by the almighty Allah(God)! Prophet is a messenger of the laws of Allah. Allah is feeding us, gives us fresh air to breath. So, we must submit ourselves to him. The one who submits oneself to the God, cannot argue against him. Servant cannot argue against his master. So, whether it is a matter of wearing a scarf on the head by a woman or may be the other thing, we cannot argue. When an engineer manufacture a machine, he knows its full knowledge and guides the other persons how to operate or deal with that machine. In the same way, Allah is the creator of the universe. He better knows why he framed such and such laws for the man and woman. (4) As regards miracles of prophet Mohammed (Pbuh), he was unique. So many people from previous religions who acquired supernatural powers were defeated by him with the power of almighty Allah given to him. His followers and devotees were able to perform miracles in such a way that the opposition leaders and kings including magicians were defeated and impressed by immense spirituality, converted from their parent religion into Islam. So, I do not want to describe about miracles of Islam. I want to give only logical and true reasons to accept Islam. (5) When the entire Europe was in darkness, Martin Luther created separate Christian group, called as the Protestant Christian, the Islam was just in a developing phase. When whole the world was ruled by one or the other kings, Islam developed a theory of Democracy. What a surprising thing it is that very few non-Muslim people know that the inventor of the democracy is a prophet Mohammed (Pbuh)! He advised his followers that after his demise (taking veil from this world), they should elect their leader whose mission would be ruling the Muslim state with the Islamic laws and propagate the message of the prophet. So, by democratic way, the four initial leaders of Islam, namely Abu Bakar, Omar, Usman and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them) chosen by the Muslims. They ruled in a most fantastic way with their spiritual powers in such a way that the Islamic state boundaries extended in Africa in the west and Afghanistan and Iran in the east. The democratically elected leader of the Islamic state was known as khalipha. The second khalipha of Islam, hazarat Omar(may god please with him) in one of his noble speech in front of his followers told that he would be questionable in the time hereafter, in the court of God, even if a dog under his reign remained hungry! What a pious leader he was! I give you one more example of fourth khalipha Hazarat Ali (may god please with him). In one battle with non-believer, he rode on the chest of his enemy. He was about to cut the throat of the enemy. As he was about to kill, the enemy spit on the face of Ali (may god please with him). Looking to this, he(Ali) left the enemy unharmed and alive. The enemy asked with an exclamation the reason why he was not killed. Ali (R.A.) replied, he was fighting for the sake of almighty Allah and not for personnel cause. But when the enemy spit, he (Ali) angered. So, if then, he killed the enemy, the cause for the killing would be accounted for his anger rather than for Allah. He feared that he might be questioned in the court of Allah. So, he did not kill the enemy. On hearing this reply, the enemy converted into Islam. (6) Democratically elected khalipha system lasted up to first four khaliphas, totaling 25 years approximately. Then, dictatorship was introduced against Islamic laws. The Military ruler Yazid bin Muawiyah was the first military dictator in Islamic history who himself captured throne and martyred Imam Husein, a son of prophet Mohammed's son-in-law. Imam Husein insisted that democratically elected person must be set on the throne as khalipha. Imam Husein and his whole family except one son were martyred in the tragedious Karbala battle where Imam Husein and his pious family were tortured, kept thirst for three days and nights and martyred. This was the end of democracy then and dictatorship and kingdoms took place in Islamic States. Even prophet Mohammed (Pbuh) forecasted that elected khilaphat system would last up to first four pious khaliphas only. So the introduction of democracy in the world was made first by Islam. Now the Islam has second number in regard to population of its followers. (7)Very Important thing to note is that, the divine book of Islam is intact, word by word unchanged. It is a great miracle of prophet Mohammed (Pbuh) that the holy book quran will remain unchanged and intact till the destruction of this whole universe. The other miracle is that, the saintly people of Islam’s dead body never get rotten. The body remains intact even after so many years. Many historic events have witnessed this thing. In our chishtiya sect of Sufism in Islam, it has been a tradition that when a saintly person demise, grave is opened after forty days of his burial and if the body is found intact, stone/cement-brick grave is made as a symbol, so that the devotees can pray for blessings. There are so many Muslim saints tombs constructed. What a true religion it is! (8)See the first chapter of holy book quran. It is called as Surah Fateha. The opener of the blessings from Allah. It is like this. “All the praises are for the Allah, the guardian of all the worlds of the entire universe. The most generous and most merciful. The owner of the day of judgment. We pray to you only and seek for only your help. Guide us on the right path, the path of the righteous who you blessed and rewarded and not on the path of those upon whom you angered and who were deviated from the right path.” After this chapter, the second chapter starts. The very first verse of the second chapter is this. “ Alef Laam Mim (secret code words), this is the book in which there has no place for any doubt. Guidance for those who fear and who bring faith on the unseen, pray Salaat (prostration) and expend from which given by Allah and bring faith on which has been descended upon you and descended upon the previous and believe firm on the day of judgement.” So, the Muslims have faith on all previous prophets and on prophet Mohammed. It is a prerequisite that one must have faith on prophet Mohammed. The Muslims recognize all previous prophets but laws will be followed which are brought by Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh). (9)Naturally, due to its last arrival on this earth, Islam includes all essence of previous religions. It includes congregessional prayers performed five times a day. It includes a loud repeated chanting. It includes meditaion. It includes yoga. Everything that comes in the definition of a prayer is included in Islam. The hindu notation of kundalini awakening is known as lataaif energy opening in Islam. (10) See the definition of Allah in Islam. In quran, the definition of Allah is given. “Allah is alone and unique. Allah is free of desires. None has born from him nor has he born from anything. Nothing can be compared with him” Looking to this, prophet Jesus is called as son of Mary(Mariam). Angel Jibrael(Gabriel) was ordered to blow on Mary to conceive. Prophet Mohammed (Pbuh) had no shadow of his body. He had a shadow less body like angels. No light can create shadow of his body. Even though, he is known as a human being in quran. But it should be noted that the divine light is showering on the prophets and saintly people and they are connected to Allah(God). It can be easily understood like this. The sun gives rays. The rays are never separate from the Sun but we cannot say that the rays itself are the Sun. So, saintly people are not God but they are not separate from God.
