The Inner Teachings of Islam

Religion is the most important attribute of human’s life whether he is Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Jew or belongs to any other religion. The deed a man commits reflects how much a religion is dominating on his character. Every religion has two types of teachings for its follower.

Internal Teachings
External Teachings

Inner Teaching is communicated in metaphoric way; we have to discover it using our brains and knowledge. The symbol for Islam is the Sun, the Moon, and the Star. The Sun, Moon, and Star represent Man, the walking Trinity, who is created in the Image and the Likeness of God.

All natural phenomenons represent the presence of God. The dawn and the sunset, changing weathers, creation of Mountains, flow of oceans, rain, growth of plants and sea creatures, natural calamities and disasters all symbolize that there is One God who is making this universe to work according to some plan.

Our earth is rotating and revolving in systematic way making life possible for all creatures. There are so many planets in the galaxy heaving unknown number of different living beings which are still to be discovered by man.

In the Quran, people are summoned to contemplate numerous events and objects that clearly testify to the existence and uniqueness of God and His attributes. This, indeed, is the responsibility of mankind: to be able to see the signs of God. Thus, such a person will come to know the Creator who created him and all other things, draw closer to Him, discover the meaning of his existence and his life and so prosper.

The inner teachings demand us to discover the realities about world, to testify that there is only one God, Allah, who is running the system of this universe through angels who act according to the commandments of Lord.

Islam and Its virtues

In the Name of God, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

There is nothing more pleasurable and great about reading Islam than understanding and practicing it in the full potential what it has to offer. This entire concept is understandable when it comes to make things work for you and it is advised for you to acquire such knowledge from the word of Allah in form of an ultimate guidance and solidarity in Quran.

The moment in time unfortunately makes the non-Muslims in no better situation to understand and follow Islam with its ideologies and virtues as to the misconceptions, stereotypes and misrepresentations prevailing barriers to the religion of Islam and its understanding is even more deprived to the language or translation barriers and more of a educated diverse language Muslims who can portray the real picture of Islam.

The Quran holds the true secret of life in which Allah (SWT) tells the mankind the true purpose of their existence and the life which has a meaningful ultimate resource to which the submission to the one God is the attainment and reward for which the next life of this would be awarded as Eternal Paradise and on the other hand the non-believers or the ignorant people who will fail to submit to the guidance of Allah (SWT) will be punished in Hell.

This is where Allah (SWT) in the Holy Qur’an, says, “Verily this Qur’an doth guide to that which is most right” (17:9). Muslims believe that only when humanity believes in the One God and sincerely follows the teachings of this divine book, will all the problems of the world then be solved.

Further the following verses confirm what Allah (SWT) has to order the mankind for their true strong belief:

“Do no evil nor mischief on the (face of the) earth.” (2:60)

“Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong.” (3:104)

“Do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are of kin, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess.” (4:36)

“[God] forbids all indecent deeds, and evil and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition.” (16:90)

“Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you.” (49:13)
