Me And Islam
Writer: Taimoor Ajmal
Episode: 3

Muneeb had said this and left. Muneeb called Nisar and Kaleem to his room.

Muneeb: We need a student that we can fully prepare and send among the people, who can do our job well.

Nisar: but why do we need anyone else? We can all do it ourselves.

Kaleem: Yes, Nisar is right.

Muneeb: If we get caught, our centrality will deteriorate. That's why we have to take this work from others. We will make them so powerful and attractive. That no one will be able to compete with them. They will make people so addicted to ownself, that people will be ready to die at their behest.

Now Kaleem and Nisar set out in search of such a person.

As they walk, they come to a distant forest, where they pass by a mosque. Nisar suddenly stops and says to Kaleem, "Let's go to the door of God, we will find some person there, who will be praying for something to God." As they enter the mosque, their eyes fall on a young man who is asking God for something with tears in his eyes. Kaleem smiles slightly and says to Nisar, "this is our victim". Now they both are standing outside the mosque waiting for this young man. After waiting for a while, the young man comes out of the mosque. Kaleem walks along with him and says, "Don't worry my friend, these troubles are trials. All you have to do is patient and take your steps with wisdom. When I saw you crying in the mosque, I remembered my past. I could not stand your crying, so I came to console you. What is your name, young man?"

Young man: My name is Salman.

Kaleem: Whatever your problem is, it will be solved. You just have to obey me and go to my Murshid (mentor), he will teach you something, he has changed my life too, he will find some solution for your problem.

Salman: The Giver is Allah(God) alone, He alone can solve every problem.

Kaleem: You are right, my Murshid(mentor) also says this, he will only show you the right way and guide you, also God helps only those who want to change their condition.

Salman thinks in mind, "let's go and see what happens?" and starts walking with Kaleem. Along the way, they meet Nisar, whom Kaleem introduces as a (Mureed)disciple, and Nisar narrates the events of Murshid(mentor) to Salman and instills devotion of Murshid(mentor) in his heart.

If two Saheeh Ahaadeeth come against each other, the decision will be made by the "Muhaddithin(Hadith Scholars)" with the help of the "Usool Al-Hadith"(The Science of Authentication and interpretation of Prophetic Ahadith), who will be familiar with its mood." Usool Al-Hadith" is a different field of study and knowledge. About which I can't tell here, nor is it the subject of the novel, This can only be understood and learned by sitting face to face with an expert scholar of Hadith. If you try to learn it from a book and without a teacher, you may get confused. Like sometimes we see the verses of the Qur'an colliding with each other, but in reality, our intellect is colliding. There is a "Tafseer(interpretation of Qur'an)" for a solution, which is done with the help of "Usool ut Tafseer(Principles of Quranic Interpretation And Quranic Sciences)". "Mufassir (Interpreter of Qur'an)" solves this type of problem with the help of Hadith.

Saad and Sikandar had now met each other and were benefiting from each other's knowledge. Saleema and Ammar also find Saad. Sikandar is surprised to see Saleema among them. Then they all introduce themselves to each other and the purpose of coming. (Read "Me and God" to find out about them). After about a month of learning and teaching from each other, they go to Islamic Scholar named Waleed. He explains to them the difference between all religions and Islam and now they are all learning about Islam from this Scholar.

Sikandar: What is the philosophy of Islam?

Waleed: Islam is a simple knowledgeable religion. There can be very little room for philosophical considerations in it, so there is no philosophy of Islam and no pure rational and intellectual thing like philosophy can reach the heights of Islam which is based on all divine commandments.

Philosophy is a question based on why, how, and when. In my opinion, its founder is Satan who first used it at the commandments of God, But that does not mean that philosophy is evil. But if you do philosophy on the divine commandments, then this is satanic and misleading. Islam does not imprison human thinking but Islam invites us to meditate, but at the same time gives us some principles which are to our advantage. (For better and deep understanding read "Me And God"). Muslims have ruled the world of philosophy for a while. But their subject was not God or divine command. Rather, their subject was God-made things or creatures.
