Proof of God

Political system of Islam is the most misunderstood idea and many Muslims distance even the word Politics from Islam. Unknowing the fact that political system in Islam is to deliver justice to mankind and its the main system that enables all the aspects of Islam and organizes the people affairs according the rules of Allah(swt). In this first part of the lecture Dr. Malkawy introduces the political system of Islam and compares with other systems of politics specially the “Civil Political system”.

Ramadhan is a time when a believer is constantly tested with one’s sabr. As a result, we often see people forget to exercise sabr and, thus, fail to build themselves on an aspect which is an integral part of one’s Iman.The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Strange is the affair of the mu’min (the believer). Verily, all his affairs are good for him. If something pleasing befalls him he thanks (Allah) and it becomes better for him. And if something harmful befalls him he is patient (saabir) and it becomes better for him. And this is only for the mu’min.”

The responsible shepherd’ regarding the importance of parenting and good governance in the home (Dar) and over the family (Qaum) as well as on a societal level. I discussed that masooliyya (being responsible) and riaayah (shepherding) consist of the need to nurture, develop and rear the marouf and to restrict, limit (Hudood) and have boundaries to protect from munkar. I then asked he audience that if the home would be in such a mess with a ‘shepherd’ what of a shepherdess Ummah without the sharee’ah and it’s Hudood, to protect and nitre the affairs of people? Abdullah bin Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects. A man is the guardian of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband’s home and his children and she is responsible for them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of his master and he is responsible for it. Surely, every one of you is a shepherd and responsible for his flock.”
