There are many religions and
ways of worship in the world that the people do worship following to them.
The question is: why the people do worship and if it is not, then what will
happen? In fact, the passion of worship has been created in the nature of human
beings at the day called “Yaume-Alast” as the holy Qur’an reveals,” And
(remember) when thy Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their
reins, their seed, and made them testify of themselves, (saying): Am I not your
Lord? They said, Yea, verily. We testify. (That was) lest ye should say at the
Day of Resurrection: Lo! Of this we were unaware; Or lest ye should say (It is )
only (that) our fathers ascribed partners to Allah of old and we were (their)
seed after them . Wilt thou destroy us on account of that which those who follow
falsehood did”? (Al-A’raf: 173)
That is why people do worship and want to bow down before a supernatural power,
particularly before the Almighty, The Master of the world .The holy Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) said, "No babe is born but upon Fitra (as a Muslim). It is his
parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist" (Sahih Muslim).
This hadith reveals that every child is born upon the right nature i.e. Islam
but his parents change his nature to the religion that they worship. Therefore
the people do worship on the foot prints of their ancestors and do not think
whether this way of worship is right or wrong? Notably, the right way of worship
is that according to it Allah Almighty will take accountability from the people
and will send them to Paradise or in Hell? No one will make excuse there that he
did worship according to his ancestor’s way of worship therefore he was
faultless.
Here a question arises: whether the recognition of the right way of worship (the
religion of Islam) is so difficult that a common man cannot recognize it? So,
according to the teachings of Islam, Allah the most High had inspired a
knowledge of good and evil in the conscious of man as the holy Qur’an reveals,”
And a soul and Him Who perfected it, And inspired it (with conscience of ) what
is wrong for it and (what is) right for it” (Ash=Shams: 8). Due to this
inspiration, he can test what is the good and what is the evil in no time. For
example, if someone is asked whether committing adultery, killing someone,
accepting bribery or abusing someone is right act or wrong? He will reply
without any hesitation that all these acts are wrong ones. Similarly, if asked
whether establishing worship, giving charity, helping the needy, serving the
parents are right or wrong actions? He will reply at once that all these actions
are quite right and must to do. He will never say that,” I don’t know how these
actions are! Whether they are right or wrong? I shall read my holy book first or
shall ask to a scholar of my religion and then reply you.
By this Divine inspiration, every man knows the best about any religion that how
much reality lies in its dogmas and whether it is according to human nature or
not and mere a fiction? The holy Qur’an reveals, “So set thy purpose (O
Mohammad) for religion as a man by nature upright----the nature (framed) of
Allah, in which He hath created man. There is no altering (the laws of) Allah’s
creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not---“(Ar-Room: 30).
Commentators say that the right way of worship is that: if someone will be left
free to choose a religion by his own will, then he will choose the religion of
Islam. Allah Has made the nature of every mankind the same. That is why every
man recognizes Islamic beliefs as just fit for human nature. But this is another
thing whether he accepts Islam or chooses another religion.
So Islam is the only religion that’s ‘seeds’ were scattered in the hearts of
mankind since the creation of the universe and every man has an intense feeling
of longing for it, and the success and salvation is only in Islam.
