The
Renovators of Islam Should Rather Think Of Renovating Their Own Faith
There is no need whatsoever of the tampering or changing by the so-called
renovators of Islam because, according to the previously mentioned prophetic
statement (see ‘Islamic Commandments need no Revision), they are automatically
ostracised from the group of Muslims. Hence, instead of renovating Islam,
they should feel concerned about renovating their own faith.
They may explain this Hadith by saying that this merely insists on the
perfecting of the faith. But those who call Islam old and in order to prove
it insufficient for the present-day needs have even repudiated the essentials
of religion; for such deniers there remains no scope for explaining away.
Other people, cautiously, may not condemn them, but if a very valuable
treasure of someone is buried somewhere and when even a small child gives
information regarding the arrival of thieves there, one is flabbergasted.
Hence, the magnificent wealth like that of faith compared to which the
most precious treasurers of the world are simply trivial and nothing, should
be very carefully renovated at the slightest indication by any one, and
one should take a vow not to be careless about it in the future.
In short, our staunch belief is that there is success everywhere in
the religion brought by the Holy Prophet
and his auspicious ways. There is success in it in every country and every
period; and besides this, there is failure in all; but this religion will
last till the Last Day. When this world will be brought to an end, decision
on the Day of Judgement, as stated in the following Hadith, will be made
according to this religion only.
The Holy Prophet
says: -"On the Day of Judgement (in the Divine Court) will come deeds."
He counted amongst them prayers, fasting, charity, etc. and then said:
"Then will come Islam and say:
'Allah is (Safety) and I am Islam.' Allah Most High will say: 'You are
right. Today I will take people to task on account of you only and will
give rewards because of you only.’”
