36 Kuimarishwa kwa Ushindi wa Kiislamu - Ukhalifa wa Kiislamu | Quran Course

3. Asili ya itikadi ya Kiislamu na Shari'ah yake inahitaji kwamba zipatikane hatua kwa hatua, yaani, ziathiri namna mtu binafsi anavyojifunza na kuchakata taarifa kutoka kwenye jamii anayoishi. Waislamu walijifunza Uislamu ili wautekeleze. Ndiyo maana Waislamu daima walikuwa na shauku na bidii kubwa kuhusu Uislamu. Walikuwa na fikra jumuishi, maarifa mengi, na upeo mpana kwa sababu ‘Aqeedah ya Kiislamu ilikuwa imejikita sana mioyoni na akilini mwao. Pia walipokea hukumu na maoni ya Kiislamu baada ya utafiti na uchunguzi mwingi, na kwa sababu utekelezaji wa vitendo wa Uislamu ndio ulikuwa mkuu. Waislamu hawakujifunza Uislamu kwa ajili ya kujaza maarifa tu, kwani hilo lingewafanya kuwa vitabu vinavyotembea vyenye taarifa kuhusu Uislamu. Lingewafanya kuwa kama sifongo za kielimu, zinazonyonya maarifa kila zinapopita lakini zisizotenda kwa kile zilichojifunza ili kubadilisha na hatimaye kupanga jamii. Taarifa (kama maji) hatimaye zingekauka, na mtu binafsi asingeleta athari yoyote kwa jamii. Pia hawakusikiliza Uislamu kama ushauri tu. Hilo lingewageuza kuwa watu wenye fikra duni, wasioweza kuunganisha imani na mambo ya kila siku ya maisha. Waislamu walihakikisha wanaepuka njia hizi mbili hatari, yaani kujifunza Uislamu kwa ajili ya taarifa au kuuchukulia kama ushauri tu. Waislamu walikiweka kujifunza kwao Uislamu na hukumu zake ndani ya njia iliyoamriwa na Uislamu yenyewe, ambayo ni kuufahamu Uislamu kwa ufahamu wazi na wenye nuru ili kuutekeleza katika nyanja zote za maisha.

3. The nature of the Islamic ideology and its Shari’yah necessitate that they should be progressively acquired, i.e., it should affect the manner in which the individual learns and processes information from the society he lives in. The Muslims learned about Islam in order to implement it. This is why the Muslims were always eager and zealous towards Islam. They had an all encompassing thought, rich knowledge, and broad horizons because the Islamic ‘Aqeedah was deeply rooted in their hearts and minds. They also received the Islamic rules and opinions after a great deal of study and research and because the practical implementation of Islam was dominant. The Muslims did not learn Islam for the sake of soaking up knowledge because this would have rendered them as mobile books containing information about Islam. This would have made them intellectual sponges, soaking up knowledge at each turn but not acting upon the information in order to change and subsequently order society. The information (like water) would eventually dry up and the individual would not make an impact up on society. They also did not merely listen to Islam as a form of advice. This would have turned them into shallow minded individuals, unable to relate the belief to the daily affairs of life. The Muslims made sure that they avoided these two dangerous paths, i.e. learning about Islam for information or taking it as mere advice. The Muslims restricted their learning of Islam and its rules to the method decreed by Islam, which is the clear and enlightened understanding of Islam in order to implement it in all walks of life.
