Can we set Religion apart from the State ?!
Adopted by Europe, The Separation between the sovereignty of Religion over State and Body Politics, bear witness to incompetence and inadequacy ..... continue



Struggle against domination and mastery of the corrupted church demonstrates another clear cut evidence of invalidity.
We are taken by surprise with Parrots; Moslems detached and disengaged from Islam, who like to forcibly apply and project it to the Universality of Islam foaming at their full mouth:

What has religion got to do with woman�s dress, fashion, appearance or cloth?
Has religion the right to interfere in education ?
Is it really part of the religion to modify economy?
Why Islam is interfering in trade and business?
We wonder how could religion be an aspect in international relationships?
Top of all, religion is jumping into one�s own personal freedom of choice?
Religion is confined between you and Allah !!
Don�t force religion on everything !!
Religion is for man to purify himself out of sins , other sides of life i.e economy, politics, sociology, culture, science has its specialized personnel who can successfully manage!
How did such a split of religion and life take place !!
When exactly did it happen?? And where ??
Who dare to let enter in Islam?
Did it start spreading from within or has been imported ?

So many other whats , whos, whens, whweres and whys �might leap upon your thoughts

What then were left to Allah if the above topics were brushed away ?

When it was left to man to handle , all aspects of life were corrupted and deviated from its designated aim and objective. Judaism and Christianity ended in Bohemian life style as Torah and Bible were entrusted to people to announce and preach.

~~~~~ ISLAM! ~~~~~

�We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it(from corruption)�
Man is no more entrusted to convey the words of Allah ..
Let us now sail across history together to see how it permeated; who is responsible to present such distorted mentalities in our Islam.

Moses' Peace be upon him :

Torah was revealed to Moses -Peace be upon him!- to be comprehensively the Israelites way of life.
Many years later, Christ came with the Gospel as the modified version of Torah for the Israelites.
The Jews denied the Christ's mission and hold him out. Eventually they tempted Pilate, the Roman procurator of Judea, presided at the trial of Jesus and responsible for the order for death by crucifixion)
But Providence is always there. Allah rescued His Messenger and raised him unto Himself.

Ill-intention :

Though the fact that Christianity was part and parcel of Judaism, Christ followers and Jews ill-intentioned relation soon collapsed leaving a Christian Jewish broken ties behind. Thus Christianity was rejected as the complimentary part of Torah :the initial message.
The Jews and the Romans oppressed Christ's followers so severely that they had to live in disguise and to act secretly for a long time.

40 years after Christ raised to Allah:

Yes, it is the fact. The Christ followers were subject to a non-stop oppression, tyranny and injustice under Romans and Jewish influence.
Disguise was the only way to keep oneself alive. Consequently
the deeds, preaching, words, history, texts and all related incidents of the Christ were secretly and hastily circulated.
Successive passing around of information failed leading to inaccurate and sometimes inexact scripts. That was the first step for misinterpretation and distortion of Gospel contributing to its rejection later.
Gospel first version dates back to 40 years after Christ has been raised. Naturally it could not be the exact revelation of Allah to Christ.
Now you see how it all began. The Holy Text was altered. That led to its rejection many years later.

Second contribution:

Paul, who was an avowed Jewish enemy of Christ, suddenly converted to Christianity after Christ had been raised. Moreover, he became a prominent Christian figure.
All of a sudden and after Christ rise, Paul the mortal enemy of Christianity, and Christ fierce disputer, switched to Christianity becoming one of the followers.
He has taken over an important prestigious status qualifying him to acquire the Apostle Title.
Now the opportunity offered itself to him to process Christianity with Roman Paganism and Greek Philosophy from which Immanentism emerged. It was a grievous disaster to Christianity entity.

Third: Constantine :

Then , Constantine the Roman emperor embraced Christianity giving it the power to rule and reign.
Giving the chance to ranking hypocritical officials to introduce more Paganism to Christianity, he helped in creating another form of religion, as he was not concerned too much about religion.
Such a deviation was enhanced with political and ethnical conflicts. Christian beliefs were occasionally changed so as to attain political goals.
That's why Christianity has become completely different from its Divine origin. So, it was no longer the one to provide man with sound belief and correct conception of existence and its Creator, the mutual relation between them, and essence of human existence to this world.

In short Christianity proves incapable of being the Divine Message, no longer a sound comprehensive way of life, as destined to be, after the above basic distortion to its essence.
Notwithstanding, the Europeans were obediently accepting as their divine cover declaring its interpretations and judgment as sacred whatever illogical it had been.

Then The Four Plight descended :

Barbarian, Uncivilized, Savage, Luxurious, Self-indulgent,
Sexual rabid Characterized the Roman personality at that time.
Trying to oppose the Roman predominant violent wild sexual and indulgent way of life, the church headed to very austere, strict way of life.
On the other hand, with the absence of the right guidance and proper tools, the Church tried to amend and correct but HOW!!!
In contrary to Sex-starvation emerges a complete Monasticism smashing instinctively sexual desire. Deprivation and self-denial of the niceties of life against luxury ..
These were considered the summit of Moral Excellency and perfection against decay and decline of The Romans.
Such austerity had probably more disastrous effect than the pagan brutality.
Such an approach was one of the factors that led to the separation between religion and life rather that a cure of immorality.

Fifth:

The climax came when it was discovered that monastic life was full of extreme sins. That discredited religious people and religion, too. Besides, the church trespassed people's rights making use of religion: imposing taxes, corvee, great degradation and the ridiculous indulgence. Due to all of that religion was separated from European life.

Simultaneously, there was a severe power and authority struggle between the church and emperors.
Emperors used to arouse suspicion in the church people making use of uncovering its grave mistakes publicly. That's why Eropeans began to detest religion and its figures.

Sixth:

Then came the decisive blow when the church monopolized the right to interpret the Bible and deprived others of it unless he belonged to clergy. No one else had the right to even interpret it.
Furthermore, it added some unbelievable and mystified things in Christian beliefs such as Trinity and the Holy Communion which every Christian had to undisputedly accept and believe in. Otherwise, he would be excommunicated.
It adapted the same arbitrary approach to the scientific and cosmic issues. It developed erroneous superstitious geographical, historical and physical opinions and theories.
Then it considered such theories sacred, indisputable ones. Such an approach in particular led to a disastrous conflict between religion , science and reason.
Religion lost that conflict as it was a perverted not a genuine one. Reason invaded Europe and scientists and physicists got freed from the chains of adherence to religious theories. So, they could prove the falsehood of the religious theories and openly criticized them.
Consequently, the church was exasperated and considered those scientists unbelievers, killed them and even burned some of them alive. 300,000 persons were punished including 32 who were burned alive - among them were GALILEO and Bruno
As a result of such a massacre the reformers got enraged and began a bitter struggle against the church. They detested everything that has something to do with religion: its beliefs, culture and morals.
They became enemies not only to Christianity but also to all religions on earth. It was resolved that religion is completely at odds with science and reason.

The last straw was needed to let us see how Europe defied and rejected all religions and began a new revolutionary era. The last straw was the commence of the industrial revolution in France and the fall of Empiral rule and the cease of the feudal rule and when the church and religion were overthrown. That's how Europe turned to Secularism.

That's how religion was separated from life in Europe. 

That was the nature of the religion that was rejected in Europe. 

One cannot blame Europeans for doing so as it was not the genuine Divine religion. 

It was a pagan religion rather than a divine one. 

It was completely unable to cater for human needs.

Later, secularism invaded our Islamic countries. Some parrot-like people supported it.
Those people were unable to differentiate between the nature of the perverted religion that the Europeans rejected and the nature of their own preserved religion, viz. Islam.

They overlooked under which conditions the rejection took place. Such conditions were merely local ones i.e. they existed in Europe only and at certain time.
The rejected religion was a deformed thing that had nothing to do with real Divine Christianity that was revealed to Christ - Peace be upon him!.
That's why it was utterly wrong to try to spread such rejection of religion in general all over the world, especially in our Islamic countries. Such infidel trend should not have been adopted in our Islamic countries.
Unfortunately, it was spread, and many Islamic countries put religion aside and confined it to very few issues such as marriage, divorce....etc..

Europe was justified the right to reject such a pagan religion. However, Moslems were totally mistaken to follow its example.
They thought that such a rejection would guarantee their countries success and development.
However, they are still underdeveloped ones, though they began their rejection of Islam 50 years ago!! The gulf between them and European Advanced countries is still there.

They misunderstood what happened in Europe. The European suffered from a perverted religion that was in their way to be developed countries. As soon as they got rid of it, their way to success became a clear one.
What keeps our Islamic countries underdeveloped is that most Moslems do not act according to Islamic doctrines. Islam has been never in the way.

On the contrary, it does help man to succeed and develop. Moslems' current misery is going to continue unless they adhere to their pure universal religion.
Proving such a claim can easily be seen through looking back in history. Most of the world has been ruled by Moslems for 12,000 years (twelve centuries).

Moslems, who lived in that era, sincerely adhered to Islam. Islam governed all aspects of their life. Such an era came to an end when Moslems neglected their religion. That's why they became underdeveloped countries.
If we really look forward to restoring our glorious status, we have to follow the example of our great religious ancestors.

Imam Malik -May Allah mercy him!- once said,
"Nothing can make the later generations of Moslem nation a virtuous one except by adopting what had made its earliest generation virtuous."
What made the earliest generation virtuous is their adherence to Islamic principles and the fact that their life was entirely governed by Islam. They set aside their own prejudice.

Therefore it is wrong to say,
"Keep religion just between you and your Lord."
"Don't make religion interfere in everything."
"Do not claim that all our issues have something to do with religion."

So, it is very dangerous to confine religion to mosque and one's heart as those who are infatuated about the West want to do.
