Islam: The Moderate Religion
The role of the Messengers and Prophets of Allah was a noble one as they
were constantly and continuously sent to renew what was being learned and
taught to the people and also to remind the people of what they forgot. Until
all the divine messages were finalized with the final Messenger, Muhammad
. So the message of Islam was the final message and the Prophet
Muhammad was the final Prophet and Messenger sent to mankind, and
this nation (Muslims) being the final nation which Allah has made them as
witnesses, either for or against all of mankind.
The Muslim’s role in this worldly life is a lofty one, it is to worship Allah alone
and to establish Allah's proofs and evidences upon the earth and upon the
people and guide them and call them to Allah's path. The Muslim's role also as
bearing witness for mankind, by testifying for them as submitting to Allah’s
commandments by adhering to the Islamic Faith or bearing witness and
testifying against them for their disbelief, wrongdoing, and disregard of
Allah’s commandments.
As Allah says:
} ا َنﻮُﻜَﻳ َو ِسﺎﱠﻨﻟا َﲆَﻋ َءا َﺪ َﻬ ُﺷ اﻮُﻧﻮُﻜَﺘِﻟ ﺎًﻄ َﺳ َو ًﺔ ﱠﻣُأ ْﻢُﻛﺎَﻨْﻠَﻌ َﺟ َﻚِﻟ َﺬَﻛ َو ا ًﺪﻴِﻬ َﺷ ْﻢُﻜْﻴَﻠَﻋ ُلﻮ ُﺳ ﱠﺮﻟ {
Thus We have made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islâmic
Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah
(legal ways)], a Wasat (just) (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses
over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad) be a witness over you.
(Al-Baqarah 2:143)
So justice and equality are considered to be from amongst the most important
principles which are obligatory and necessary for the Muslims to act upon
firstly and secondly it is necessary for all of humankind. Justice is one of the
most important and greatest things that distinguishes Islam and the true
Muslims from the other nations and religions.
In the religion of Islam it is obligatory upon its followers to always act with
justice and equality. Be informed that Islam and the Muslims are not content
nor satisfied until complete justice and equality are recognized as being
Islam's and the true Muslim’s main and distinguishing feature. Justice and
equality are two of the main principles which Islam promotes and exhorts
people to adhere to and encourages that these two principles be from the
manners and characteristics which the Muslims are known for and constantly
described with.
Islam ordered the Muslims to be constantly and continuously described with
justice and equality by being just, fair and dealing equally with the people and
practicing these things in all of their actions. The implementation of this great
principal is done for the sake of Allah alone, not for anything or anyone else.
