A contemporary deviation in understanding faith
0:12
We are living today in a deplorable and unique situation in the history of Islam,
0:19
If not in the entire history of humankind.
0:22
Where many people believe in the Oneness of Allah, with no partner,
0:27
Yet they do not implement His law in the reality of life,
0:31
And they see no issue with that.
0:34
Rather, some may even believe that the prevailing interest today
0:37
Lies in setting aside the law of Allah from the reality of humanity,
0:41
And adopting man-made legislation instead.
0:45
And they claim, despite this, that they are Muslims who love Islam and its people.
0:51
And a situation like this has never occurred before in the entirety of human history.
0:56
This is because humanity, throughout its entire history,
1:00
Has not deviated from one of two states:
1:03
Either believing in the One and Only Allah,
1:06
Implementing His law in general terms,
1:10
Or associating partners in belief,
1:13
Believing in the existence of other deities and lawmakers,
1:17
And implementing their laws instead of Allah's.
1:20
But to believe in the One Allah,
1:23
Then implement the law of someone other than Him,
1:25
This is a form of madness
1:28
That has never occurred before, neither in the Age of Ignorance nor in Islam.
