The world has been living without the Islamic State since 1924 when the ‘Uthmani Khilafah was destroyed. This together with a media apparatus controlled by the kuffar and ruthless regimes in Muslim countries, prevented the proper understanding and teaching of Islam and its concepts about life from reaching the world. Thus, we find most people carrying a plethora of misconceptions and false ideas which are being portrayed as part of Islam. This section seeks to describe some of these misconceptions, alluded to in the previous chapter, and to clarify the correct understanding of Islam regarding them.

LIE :Islam is a religion just like any other religion; it only governs the relationship between man and God from a spiritual, personal point of view. Therefore it can co-exist with secularism.

Wannan yana nufin Musulunci ya ƙunshi dukkan fannonin rayuwa, ko su:

FACT : The fact of the matter is that Islam, unlike many religions which exist in the world such as Hinduism or Judaism, did not come for a particular people. It came for all humanity as a system for life that has both general and detailed guidelines for running the affairs of the people. This means that Islam encompasses all aspects of life whether they be:

i) Waɗanda ke tsara dangantakar mutum da Allah (misali sallah, azumi da sauransu), ii) Waɗanda ke tsara dangantakar mutum da kansa (kamar abinci ko abin sha da aka halatta, nau'ikan tufafi, ɗabi'a da fannonin kyawawan halaye da sauransu), ko iii) Waɗanda ke tsara dangantakar sa da sauran mutane da muhallin da ke kewaye da shi (kamar mu'amalar kuɗi, aure, saki da dangantakar iyali, mulki, dangantaka da shugaba da sauransu).

i) Those that govern the relationship of man with God (for example praying, fasting etc.), ii) Those that govern the relationship of man with himself (like permissible food or drink, types of clothes, personality and moral aspects etc.) or iii) The ones that govern the relationship between him and other people and the environment around him (like economic transactions, marriage, divorce and family relationships, government, relationship with the leader etc.).

Annabi Muhammadu ﷺ, a lokacin da ya isar da Saƙo daga Mahalicci, Allah (SWT), ga mutanen Makka, ya kira su ba kawai su bauta wa Allah guda ɗaya ba, har ma su canja rayuwarsu da al'ummarsu domin ta dogara ne bisa bautar Allah guda ɗaya, Allah (SWT). Saboda haka, a Musulunci, Allah (SWT) ne Mai Shari'a kuma Mai Umarni a kan dukkan ayyukan ɗan Adam, ko na mutum ɗaya ne ko na al'umma. Allah (SWT) shi kaɗai ne ke tsara abin da aka halatta da abin da aka hana, Allah (SWT) ne Ubangiji, ɗan Adam kuma bawa ne. Kuma tun da Allah (SWT) ne Mahalicci na komai, shi kaɗai ne ya san abin da ya fi alheri ga mutane, ba kamar ɗan Adam ba wanda yake mai rauni, mai iyaka kuma mabukaci. Saboda haka Musulunci yana da keɓantuwa a cikin saƙonsa da abin da ya ƙunsa - ta yanayinsa akida ce ta siyasa, kuma ba za a iya raba shi da al'amuran gwamnati ba kamar yadda yake a tsarin boye-boye (secularism).

The Prophet Muhammad (saw), when he delivered the Message from the Creator, Allah (swt) to the people in Makkah, called them not just to worship one God but also to transform their lives and society to be based on the worship of one God, Allah (swt). Thus in Islam, Allah (swt) is the Legislator and Commander for all the actions of human beings, be they individualistic or societal. Allah (swt) alone decides what is permissible and what is prohibited, Allah (swt) is the Master and man is the slave. And since Allah (swt) is the Creator of everything, He (swt) alone knows what is best for people rather than humans who are weak, limited and needy. Thus Islam is unique in both its message and its content - by its nature it is a political doctrine, and cannot be separated from the affairs of government as would be the case in secularism.

Musulunci ya yadu a ƙasashe ta hanyar amfani da takobi. An tilasta wa mutane su musulunta.

LIE :Islam spread throughout the lands by use of the sword. People were forced to convert to Islam.

FAKTA: Daga cikin manyan ka'idoji na Musulunci game da batun karɓar imani da mutane ke yi shi ne ayar Alƙur'ani da ta ce, "Babu tilastawa a cikin addini (na Musulunci)." [TMQ 2:256] Ma'ana, babu wanda za a tilasta masa karɓar Musulunci a kowane hali.

Irin wannan halin gaskiya ne da duk Musulmi ya kamata su amince da shi, domin yana cikin tushen koyarwar Musulunci.

FACT : Among the most important principles of Islam regarding the issue of the acceptance of its belief by people is the verse in the Qur’an which states, “There is no compulsion in the deen (of Islam).” [TMQ 2:256] This means no-one is to be forced to accept Islam under any circumstances. A quick look at the history of the State reveals that since the beginning, Islam was just and fair towards people of other religions, whatever they were. The Prophet (saw) after establishing the first Islamic State in Madinah had the power to force the Jews around Madinah to accept Islam, but he did not. After opening Makkah, the Prophet (saw) allowed the people there to go free despite their history of extensive persecution of the Muslims. This kind of attitude is a fact that all Muslims should acknowledge because it is a fundamental aspect of the Islamic doctrine.

Gaskiyar cewa a yankuna masu fadi na kasashen da Musulunci ya yi mulkinsu, har yanzu akwai coci-coci, da majami'un Yahudawa, da wuraren ibada masu yawa na mabiya sauran addinai, shaida ce ta hakurin Musulunci.

The fact that in large areas of lands which have been ruled by Islam there still exist now many Churches, synagogues and shrines belonging to worshippers of other religions, is a testimony to the forbearance of Islam.

Gaskiyar magana ita ce, mutane da yawa da suka rayu karkashin tsarin rayuwar Musulunci a cikin Daular Musulunci sun ga da idanunsu adalci da ingancin yadda Musulunci ke tafiyar da al'amuran mutane.

Hakika, ko a yau, yawan mutanen da ke karbar Musulunci ya fi na kowace akida.

The fact of the matter is that many people living under the Islamic system of life in the Islamic State witnessed for themselves the justice and efficient manner with which Islam ran the affairs of the people. This, coupled with the profoundly strong intellectual basis of the Islamic belief caused people to voluntarily accept Islam in droves. Indeed, even today, the rate at which people are embracing Islam is greater than that of any other belief.

KARYA: Musulmi suna bin addini ba tare da hujja ta gaskiya ba, wanda kuma yake kai ga wuce gona da iri da tashin hankali.

LIE : Muslims are blindly following a religion that has no real basis and which leads to excesses and violence.

GASKIYA: Musulunci hanya ce ta rayuwa wadda ke kan tushe mai ƙarfi na hankali. Alƙur'ani yana jaddada wannan batu na imani bisa hankali. Haka ma yana gargaɗin duk wanda ya karɓi 'bin makaho' idan ana maganar imani. Ayoyi da yawa a cikin Alƙur'ani suna tabbatar da haka, misali, "Amma yawancinsu ba sa bin kome sai zato: lallai zato ba ya wadatarwa daga gaskiya. Lallai Allah masani ne ga abin da suke aikatawa." [TMQ 10:37] Allah (SWT) ya ce kuma, "Ku duba! Lallai ga Allah ne duk halittun da ke cikin sammai da ƙasa; me suke bi, waɗanda ke bautawa abokan tarayya ga Allah? Ba sa bin kome sai zato, kuma ba sa yin kome sai ƙarya." [TMQ 10:67] Saboda haka Musulmi sun yi imani da wanzuwar Allah guda ɗaya, Allah (SWT), bisa tunani na hankali - bayan sun yi tunani game da gaskiyar rayuwarsu a matsayinsu na ɗan Adam, game da rayuwa da kuma dukkan duniyar halitta. Mafita guda ɗaya tilo ita ce, lallai dole ne a sami Mahalicci.

FACT : Islam is a way of life based on a very solid intellectual foundation. The Qur’an stresses this point about the intellectual belief. In fact it admonishes anyone who accepts ‘blind following’ when it comes to the issue of belief. Many verses in the Qur’an assert this, for example, “But most of them follow nothing but conjecture : Truly conjecture can be of no avail against the truth. Verily Allah is well aware of what they do.” [TMQ 10:37] Allah (swt) also says, “Behold! Verily to Allah belong all creatures, in the heaven and the Earth; what do they follow, who worship as His (partners) other than Allah? They follow nothing but conjecture and they do nothing but lie.” [TMQ 10:67] Therefore the Muslims believe in the existence of one God, Allah (swt) based on intellectual consideration - after thinking about their realities as human beings, about life and about the whole of the universe. The only conclusion is that there has to be a Creator.

Yana cikin harshen Larabci na gargajiya, kuma ya zo a lokacin da mutane suka fi kowane lokaci iya wannan harshe, ta hannun wani Annabi ﷺ wanda ba ya iya karatu ko rubutu, kuma ba a san shi da waƙe-waƙe ba.

Wannan ita ce mu'ujiza ta Alƙur'ani, wadda Musulmi suka sani kuma suke fahimta.

As for the Qur’an it proves itself to be the word of Allah (swt). It is in the classical Arabic language, and it came at a time when the people were the best ever in this language by a Prophet who did not know how to read or write, nor was he known as a poet. It contained a simple challenge to them : bring a single surah (chapter) like it. When we see that the smallest surah in the Qur’an is only three sentences in length, we realise how simple it would have been to beat the challenge if indeed this book was written by humans. The fact of the matter is that although many people have tried to take on the challenge, even until now no-one has managed even to come close to the original. This is the miracle of the Qur’an, which Muslims know and understand.

Irin wannan imani mai tushe mai ƙarfi yana sa Musulmi ya ɗauki wannan shiriya da muhimmanci sosai a matsayin babbar majiya ta shari'a game da tafiyar da al'amuransa, ko na kansa ko na al'umma.

Such a firmly based belief causes the Muslim to take this guidance very seriously as the main source for legislation regarding the running of his or her affairs whether on a personal or on a societal level.

Amma zarge-zargen tsananin kai hari da tashin hankali, to wannan wakilci ne na ƙarya game da Musulunci.

As for the accusations of excesses and violence these are a false representation of Islam. This is a portrayal of Muslims which is being put forward by the establishment controlled media to discredit Islam and the Muslims, so as to keep the people from considering its reality as a solution for their problems, and thus maintaining the status quo.

LIE :The current regimes in Muslim countries in places like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran and Sudan are examples of implementation of Islam, as they are Islamic States. Therefore their actions are to be taken as representative of the Islamic ideology.

GASKIYA: Domin wata ƙasa ta zama Ƙasar Musulunci, kowane ɗaya daga cikin ƙa'idodin kundin tsarin mulkin ƙasar, kowace doka da kowane tanadi, dole ne su samo asali daga Shari'ah.

Amma waɗannan duk ra'ayoyi ne da tushensu yake a kafirci, wato ba a Musulunci ba.

FACT : For a land to be considered an Islamic State, every single article of the country’s constitution, every rule and law, must emanate from the Shari‘ah. In every case of the above mentioned countries however, these criteria are far from being met. In these places, Islamic law is only by writing the source of the country’s legislation, with all types of secular legislation and customs playing along side it, while the constitutions give much more weight to democracy, Socialism, Capitalism and the like. But these are all concepts which have their roots in unbelief, i.e. not Islam.

Misalai da aka bayar a sama ba su keɓanta ga waɗannan ƙasashe kaɗai ba. A Saudiyya, iko (sarauta) na sarki ne, ba na Allah (SWT) ba. A Pakistan, iko yana hannun majalisar dattawa (senate).

As examples, in Saudi Arabia sovereignty is for the king not for Allah (swt), in Pakistan sovereignty is with the senate, and in Iran the Western concepts of modern state and nation dominate the doctrine of the government. Whilst in Sudan, numerous examples of semi-Islamic laws, like the wearing of hijab and the cutting of the hands of thieves, fail to camouflage the predominantly secular system of government which bows to the United Nations rather than to Allah (swt). Sadly the examples above are not confined to these countries alone, but they remain true of every single one of the 55 or so separate nations where the majority of the population is Muslim.

Saboda haka, ba za a taba iya cewa kowace daga cikin kasashen Musulunci na yau tana wakiltar Musulunci da tsarin mulkin Musulunci ba.

Thus it can, in no way, be claimed that any of the current Muslim countries are representative of Islam and the Islamic System of government.

FACT : Islam is an ideology (i.e. a way of life) based on an intellectually proven belief that there is one God who created the earth, the heavens, the whole of the life and all creatures and creation. This includes all humans, whether they are black, white, yellow or otherwise.

Before Prophet Muhammad (saw) was sent with the message of Islam, Allah (swt) sent many messengers to the world, but these messengers were only sent to specific peoples at specific times. The prophet Moses (as) was sent to the people of Israel, and so was Jesus (as). Islam on the other hand was sent for all humanity and as such, it is the final message of the Creator to mankind.

The only difference between people as far as Allah (swt) is concerned is with regard to their awareness of Allah (swt) and their piety. All human beings need a system to run their lives that ensures justice and establishes harmony between the different members of the society. That system can never be a man-made system, since man is limited in his capability, weak, needy and lacks a comprehensive understanding of life and the universe. Man’s designs will always be subject to whims and desires and can never achieve true justice. Throughout history, even if we look at the different cultures and civilisations that existed and ran their affairs by man-made laws and regulations, we definitely find oppression and injustice in the land. Examples include the ancient Egyptian civilisations where the Pharaohs were seen as gods, or the Roman Empire, where the Caesar was ascribed the attributes of divinity. In both these cases the leaders had the final say in what laws should govern the people. The result was injustice, tyranny and discrimination between different classes and races of people. Even in the modern day, concepts such as ‘ethnic minority’ and ‘nation state’ recognise people to be of inherently different status - these are a source of much discrimination. The Islamic doctrine, however, when it was implemented, was the only doctrine that managed to unite people together without any consideration of their race, colour or nationality. Allah (swt) obliges all people to rule according to His laws. He (swt) states in the Qur’an, “Whoever does not rule by whatever Allah reveals, they are the disbelievers.” [TMQ 5:44] This doctrine works because it treats people as human beings and just that, and because its sources of law are not from man. Allah (swt) says, “And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours : verily in that are signs for those who know.” [TMQ 30,22] LIE :In Islam women are not given equal rights to men. They are considered as second rate, abused, and prevented from having a say in their own affairs and public affairs.

GASKIYA: Musulunci yana ganin mata a matsayin daraja da ya kamata a kare, kuma a ba su matsayi mafi girma na girmamawa.

Ta wannan fuska, mace mai tsoron Allah ana ganinta da daraja fiye da namijin da ba ya tsoron Allah, haka kuma akasin haka.

FACT : Islam considers women to be an honour that should be protected and held in the highest level of esteem. Islam considers that Allah (swt) created both men and women to worship him. In the eyes of Allah (swt), there is no difference between men and women with regards to their status, except in piety. In this respect, a pious woman is deemed better than an impious man, and vice versa.

Duk da haka, Musulunci ba ya magana game da daidaito tsakanin maza da mata. Lokacin da Musulunci ya zo da hukunce-hukuncen Shari‘ah daga Allah (SWT) ga maza da mata baki ɗaya, bai duba batun daidaito ta kowace fuska ba.

Saboda haka, hukunce-hukuncen da Musulunci ya kawo mafita ne ga matsalolin da ke shafar ayyukan ɗan Adam, ba su yi magana da maza da mata daban-daban ba.

However, Islam does not speak of equality between men and women. When Islam came with the Shari‘ah rulings from Allah (swt) for both men and women, it did not look at the question of equality from any angle at all. It only considered that there were particular problems which needed to be solved, regardless of whether these problems affected men or women. Therefore the rulings which Islam brought were solutions to the problems affecting the actions of human beings, not addressing men and women separately.

Shi ya sa kalmar daidaito ba ta da wurin zama a cikin Shari'ar Musulunci - ba matsala ce a cikinta ba. Ta zama matsala a Yamma saboda yanayin wayewar Yammacin Duniya da kanta, wanda ke ba wa namiji fifiko a kan mace - tun zamanin da, shi ne ya dauki nauyin yin doka da mulki.

That is why the word equality has no place in the Islamic Shari‘ah - it is not an issue. It became an issue in the West due to the very nature of Western civilisation, which gives man superiority over women - since from ancient times he is the one who took charge of legislation and ruling. And because the system was and is still based on man-made laws, women were and still are very much oppressed. In the past, this led to womens’ movements that had literally to fight to get just a handful of rights.

While Europe was living in the dark ages, with all which that entailed of oppression and injustice towards women; and while debates were taking place to decide whether women had souls or not, under Islam and in the Islamic State, women were enjoying such a position never before known to humanity. Islam gave the women the right to inherit, work, own property, vote in state elections, participate in public life, become members of the consultative council, to study and become educated and much more. All of this was properly laid down by the Islamic system more than 1400 years ago, without any need whatsoever for womens’ movements or the like.

LIE : Islam and Muslims are a definite threat to the West because, if they have their way and establish their state, they are going to go on a ‘Holy War’ against all other people because they are fundamentalists and terrorists. FACT : The term fundamentalist is one which has been given a special meaning by the Western media machine. The true meaning of a fundamentalist, is ‘one who always refers to the fundamentals and basic principles.’ Taken from this angle, all people are fundamentalists one way or another. When John Major talks about ‘Back to Basics’ he is a fundamentalist and when people insist on abiding by a man-made secular law, they are fundamentalists.

It is true that Muslims now want to establish a united, single Islamic State which encompasses all the Muslim lands. That is because they realise that without that happening Islam in reality will have little meaning, because it is not just a set of personal rituals and worships, but a whole way of life. Also, Allah (swt) commands the Muslims that they have to implement Islam and that this can only be realised in a single state, otherwise they are sinful and will deserve Allah’s (swt) punishment in this life and in the Hereafter.

As for going to other nations with a war cry to forcibly convert them, this is completely untrue. The fact of the matter is, that the Muslims have nothing called a ‘Holy War’. Islam is an ideology which has a clear cut view about life and the systems which should regulate it - one which takes care of the affairs of the people. It also has a method to spread that system and way of life to others. A part of this method is Jihad, which does not translate as holy war.

Da zarar kiran da'awar Musulunci ya yaɗu a tsakanin wata al'umma, sai a ba wannan al'umma zaɓi: ko dai ta karɓi Musulunci a matsayin tsarin rayuwa ta zama Musulmi, ko kuma ta karɓi tsarin mulkin, tana ci gaba da bin addinanta, tana kuma biyan haraji wanda ke tabbatar da tsaronta, mutuncinta, dukiyarta da imaninta.

Islam spreads by the force of the thought first. Once the call of the Islamic da‘wah has spread amongst a nation, then that nation is given the choice of either accepting Islam as a way of life and becoming Muslims, or accepting the system of government, while keeping to their own religions and paying a tax which guarantees their security, honour, property and belief. (This tax is much less than the taxes which are levied upon the Muslims of the Islamic State.) If the leaders of that nation refuse these, they and those who tangibly support them are fought until they submit to the authority of the Islamic State. The fighting is not directed against civilians, whether they are men, women or children; rather it is only against those who are actually preventing the people from coming under the protection and justice of Islam.

A hakika, kamar yadda tarihi ya tabbatar, ƙarfin tunanin Musulunci ya sa mutane da yawa suka bar mummunan ra'ayoyin rayuwa da suka riƙa a da, suka juya zuwa ga gaskiya kaɗai - Musulunci.

As it happens, and as proven from history, the force of the thought of Islam caused many people to leave the corrupt concepts about life that they had carried before. They turned to the only truth - Islam. An example is the spread of Islam into the whole of northern Africa, which took less than 50 years to achieve! And the people who went to open the lands of Spain and Portugal were entirely from those who had become Muslims from the indigenous residents of North Africa. Also, if we consider that at the time, Islam was spreading throughout large parts of the known world at the same pace, there is no way this could happen without the enthusiasm and active participation of the people of the lands opened.

In fact, it is the colonialist West that are the real fundamentalists and oppressors. In every place once occupied by the British or the French (whether within the Indian sub-continent, Arabia or Africa), the people of those lands revile and curse their conquerors. In countries which were ruled by Islam, the people not only long for its return, they are prepared to die in the way of struggling to re-establish it.

In conclusion, these are just some of the erroneous concepts and ideas that have gained currency among Muslims and non-Muslims alike about Islam and its history. Islam has depth both in terms of its rational creed, and the systems of life that this belief gives rise to. Even a brief study of Islam will demonstrate conclusively that the apologetic and defeatist mentality that many Muslims have when it comes to addressing this beautiful and most perfect way of life is unfounded.

Indeed, Islam is the way of Truth, because it comes from Allah (swt), the Creator of the universe. It comes to solve the problems of humanity, and lead her into justice and dignity.
