The Diversity In Islam

Every religion in the world has some unique perspective or point that sets it apart from the others, perhaps which make it more attractive for its followers and the very reason behind the large following. Religions with the largest following in the world are Christianity; followed by Islam and Hinduism. rnSimilarly, there are more than one and a half billion adherents of this religion of peace; Islam, on earth, that despite their cultural, linguistic and ethnic differences bow before the same Allah, follow the tradition of the same Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and read the same one Holy book, the Quran. Basically, Islam has five pillars the Touheed (Oneness of Allah), Salah (prayer), Saum (fasting), Hajj (pilgrimage) and Zakat (religious tax). rnFollowers of Islam are bound by these core values, besides other unique attributes that it preaches including equality, brotherhood, harmony, humility, love for all, and hatred for none. The former two attributes make Islam more acceptable and unique, as with Allah the only way to achieve a high level is to be pious, following the Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) as it is, which reflect Allah’s teachings. Wealth, riches, any talent or any other special quality do not matter to Allah, but yes all of the above spent with humility and a down to earth attitude with act of thankfulness, coupled with spending in His path and to end suffering of fellow humans can get you a higher place before the Almighty.rnAt a smaller level this sense of brotherhood and harmony can be seen at Mosques five times a day, where Muslims having different statuses and from different social classes stand shoulder to shoulder and worship the same Allah, as they are all aware of the fact that this material status is of no use before Allah, the very fact that distinguishes one from the other is his intention, actions and level of piousness.rnIn addition to that, on a global level, The best example of brotherhood and equality can be seen at the most sacred places of Islam on earth, namely Makkah and Madinah, where Muslims availing cheap Ramadan packages during Ramadan flock to Allah’s house and stand behind the same Imam, oblivious of the status of the person standing next to them, also, irrespective of cast, creed, color, ethnicity, race, sect, lingual differences and material wealth bow before the same Creator, in acceptance of His grandeur and greatness.rnMakkah and Madinah owing to this liveliness and multi-ethnicity that last 24/7-365 days a year are now hailed as international cities where you can find Muslims from all over the world, at any point in time, so it’s safe to say that these two places truly reflect the Islamic concept of diversification yet unity. Dates was among the most favorite foods consumed by the Prophet (Peace be upon him). Also, the best dates are the ‘Ajwa’ of Madinah, which are said to be a cure for heart diseases, also rich in taste and nutrition.
