WHAT IS MEANT BY RELIGION OF ISLAM(DEEN UL ISLAM )?

It is to relish only the sayings of the prophets of Alläh and the sweet taste of the Qur’än and to exclude all other tastes relished by the tongue; it is to see that every word spoken by the tongue melts in constant remembrance of and reflection upon the divine sayings of Alläh; it is to be forever chewing and chewing the sound of the resplendence of the grace of Alläh, which is ten times more richly matured than the sweetest honey, to constantly speak those sounds to the contentment and fullness of the mind, the inner being, and the innermost heart, all the while relishing the taste of that pure honey this is dïnul-Isläm.

Further it is:

Resim to abstain from imbibing toddy, intoxicants, spirits, and anything else that can dull the wisdom,
Resim to abstain from slandering your neighbors and to love them as much as you love your own life,
Resim to abstain from lending money on interest,
Resim to abstain from robbery and murder,
Resim to refrain from spoiling the chastity of women,
Resim to avoid speech that will cause pain to the hearts of others,
Resim to abstain from dirty, immoral speech,

WHAT IS MEANT BY DEEN UL ISLAM ?

Dïnul-Isläm (Religion of Islam) is the perfect purity that fills both this world (dunyä) and the hereafter (äkhirah). It is the absolute certitude of faith known as ïmän, the steadfastness of worship, the compassion of Alläh, the qualities of Alläh, the truth of the prophets, the pure, untainted benign gaze of the sincerity (ikhläs) of the saints (auliyä’), the beauty of patience, and the justice that never fails to heed the conscience. It is to accept, within the innermost heart, the Thiru Qur’än(Inner Qur’an) of truth as the Truth; to discard that which is evil from all that is heard by the ears and to take (through the ear) the good word into the innermost heart and enjoy it there; to eliminate the entrancing, illusory sights seen with our eyes and instead to see with the sight of Alläh’s grace; and to relish and take in the exquisite fragrance of Alläh, the fragrance of His prophets, and the musk-like fragrance of the qalb(heart) of Muhammad (SAL.).

Such is the nature of dïnul-Isläm.

My son! The power that resplends as unblemished, spotless purity with millions upon millions of similar good thoughts, actions, and prayers is what is called dïnul-Isläm. The form of Alläh’s compassion that has eliminated all the evil forces of illusion in this world is dïnul-Isläm. His qualities are what is called dïnul-Isläm. Those who have acquired these qualities shine variously as mu’minün, muttaqïn, ambiyä’, and olis, and theirs is the state called dïnul-Isläm.


Taken from the book,” Resonance of Allah” written by

May Allah bestow his rahmat on him. He passed away in 1986.


Notes:
Mu’minün: true believers;
muttaqïn: pious, devout ones;
ambiyä’: prophets;
olis: illumined beings.
