“ …. it is very much related to the Islamic concept of Education -

for ADAB is recognition and acknowledgement of the Reality, and

knowing of one’s place in the order of things; capable of putting

the right thing in their rightful place, in their rightful manner;

rendering just due to whomsoever has the right, and in our

acquisition of rightful things to be in accordance with the right

proportion and under the right circumstance …. It is very closely

related to the Islamic concept of al-’Adl (the justice)*, the

upholding of which leads to TAQWA (the consciousness of Allah)”

“forgetfulness; to forget”.“forgetfulness; to forget”.

Islam asserts that mankind, naturally has a pure instinct Islam asserts that mankind, naturally has a pure instinct

((fitrah saleemafitrah saleema) to know of God’s existence.) to know of God’s existence.



The ability to perceive the existence of a Supreme Being (God) is

innate in human nature ( Fitrah), and it is this instinctive

cognition that explains why in every culture there is a term referring

to the Supernatural Divine - God.

In this verse we are told that, spiritually, our soul has already

testified to Allah’s Lordship prior to our physical sojourn on this

earth. Thus it is the Arabic term for “man” has that meaning “to

forget”, and messengers were sent but to be (MUDZAKKIR) the ones

to give “reminders” (DZIKR) to man, as well as the “Warner”

(NADZEERA) regarding the consequence for heedlessness of this

Reality.



““Every child is born in a state of pure innocence (Every child is born in a state of pure innocence (FITRAHFITRAH), ),

It is the parents then who would make him to become It is the parents then who would make him to become

a Jew or a Christian or a Pagan.” a Jew or a Christian or a Pagan.”

((Hadith reported by BukharyHadith reported by Bukhary))

Prophet Muhammad’ s.a.a.w. said :



Thus Islam view humankind positively, free of blame or sins, left in

the care of parents. Each one of us are said to be upon the pure and

innocent nature of submission (“Islam”), but may be nurtured to

become otherwise.

Even if they veered into a deviant path, he still can or is expected

to continuously seek and return to the path of Truth and reformation.

Although he is not compelled because of his freewill, yet his innate

potentials are to be developed and actualised towards knowing the

truth. Those who are aware but reject truth is thus guilty of “KUFR”

“concealing; covering up; rejecting truth; or being

ungrateful; ”



And those who know the Truth are to invite all with reasoning

and wisdom, appealing to their innate volition towards recognizing

the higher Reality and purpose, transcending this temporary

earthly existence. It is never hopeless.



““CONSIDER the flight of time! Verily, man is bound to CONSIDER the flight of time! Verily, man is bound to

lose himself unless he be of those who attain to faith, lose himself unless he be of those who attain to faith,

and do good works, and enjoin upon one another and do good works, and enjoin upon one another

((Qur’an: al-’Asr: 103: 1-3Qur’an: al-’Asr: 103: 1-3))

And those who know the Truth are to invite all with reasoning

and wisdom, appealing to their innate volition towards recognizing

the higher Reality and purpose, transcending this temporary

earthly existence. It is never hopeless.



Islam’s message is the message of Mercy and Allah’s

Forgiveness, and we must never despair in inviting all fellow man to

Allah’s way.

““CALL THOU (all mankind] unto thy Sustainer's path with wisdom CALL THOU (all mankind] unto thy Sustainer's path with wisdom

and goodly exhortation, and argue with them in the most kindly and goodly exhortation, and argue with them in the most kindly

manner- for, behold, thy Sustainer knows best as to who strays from manner- for, behold, thy Sustainer knows best as to who strays from

((Qur’an: an-Nahlu: 16: 125Qur’an: an-Nahlu: 16: 125))



““No (don’t destroy them) ! But my hope is that Allah No (don’t destroy them) ! But my hope is that Allah

will bring forth from their descendents, people who will bring forth from their descendents, people who

worship Allah Alone, and do not set up partners worship Allah Alone, and do not set up partners

(i.e. commit shirk) to Him. ”(i.e. commit shirk) to Him. ”

Prophet Muhammad’s reaction to suggestion for him invoke destruction (as punishment ) upon his oppressors (Quraysh) :



When we enter into Islam, the “Shahaadahtain” constitute the

re-affirmation (reconnection) with our primordial (spiritual) bond

with our Creator Sustainer.

This bond is in-fact our “self-actualizing” which re-orientate and

align our aim and purpose of life upon a single TAUHEEDIC paradigm

: life of service and servitude to the One God through submission

and obedience, following His Last Messenger Muhammad s.a.a.w..



““And He is Allah; there is no deity except Him. To Him is [due And He is Allah; there is no deity except Him. To Him is [due

Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w. taught this important DU’A :

There are verses in the Qur’an which refers to Allah using metaphorical or allegorical verses (aayat mutashaabihat).

Majority of the Salaf generation all understood these and would simply accept it without interpretation leaving this to Allah (Tafwidw), because all of them understood and would negate and reject any literal) interpretation of them by the anthropomorphist (mujasima ).

In later times, scholars had to guide Muslims from falling into anthropomorphism, by clarifying these verses through “ta’wil ” .

This approach “ta’wil ” (interpreting those allegorical verses) is in fact necessary and is consistent with what Allah s.w.t. had clarified.
