It is often stated that “Religions
are the cause of many of today’s problem all vying against each other
to proclaim they are the only universal religion for mankind. They do
not bring about peace and unity but hate and disunity!”
Many
of today’s problems derive from the fact that the world in which we
live is rapidly becoming one world. With modern technology,
communication and transport, mankind is no longer isolated from each
other; instead mankind out of necessity must learn to live close
together in intimate contact with each other. In other words, they must
become a true brotherhood. This requires many adjustments.
First of all mankind needs some sort of rules of conduct to help them
interact with each other. Since all mankind desires peace, then the
only real way to achieve that is through religion. Religion is not the
cause of many of today’s problems; it is the misuse of religion.
What is Religion?
Religion is a divine system of beliefs, acts of worship,
and rules of conduct to enable human beings to achieve nearness to Allah
and to lead a peaceful life.
