Secularization Has Its Roots Not In Biblical Or Quranic Faith , But In The Interpretation Of Faith By Westernize Man; It Is Not The Fruit Of The Gospel Or Quran But It Is The Fruit Of

The Long History Of Philosophical And Metaphysical Conflict In The Religious And Purely Rationalistic Worldview Of

Western Man.

The basic problem, therefore, is that of education- the lack of proper and adequate Islamic education and western dominance in all walk of lives. The rise of

false leaders in all spheres of life, rise of false 'ulamma' who restrict knowledge (al-'ilm) to the domain of jurisprudence (fiqh), they delight in endless controversy,

disputations and polemics which succeed only in making mountains out of jurisprudential molehills in whose blind paths the gene- reality of Muslims are left

guideless and bewildered.

The misguidance lead to the emphasis on differences between the various “madahib”

and to obstinate adherence to trivialities within them, which in turn gradually incite the

modernist and traditionalist 'reformers' and their followers to attack falsely the

“mujtahidiin” thereby undermining legitimate authority, and to discredit the concept and validity of the “madhhab” in islamic life.

Confusion and error in knowledge lead to the rise of leaders who are not qualified for valid leadership of the Muslim community, who do not possess the high moral, intellectual and spiritual standards required for Islamic

leadership, who perpetuate the condition further, ensure the continued control of the affairs of the community by

leaders like them who dominate in all fields.

Due To Total Neglect Of Divine Part Religion Just

Became The Private Matter And Relation With GOD Not

DEEN.

Separation From Devine Realm Lead To Change In Meaning Of Ibadah To Just Daily Five Congregational Prayers , Up To

Most Nawafil, Reciting Names Of ALLAH On Beads and Making Several Ummrah And Hajj.

Lack Of True Knowledge Lead To Change In Meaning Of Islam, Ibadah

And Deen.

ISLAM Means “TO SURRENDER” , IBADAH Means “TO BECOME ABD OF ALLAH WITH LOVE

AND WILL” To Become Ghulaam Of ALLAH Rather Than A Servant Who Serves Him Part Time During His Prayers And To The Most In

Other Nafali Ibadah.

FROM A RATIONAL VIEW POINT

If He is in reality our Creator, Master, and Sovereign and so also of this universe, then it is equally meaningless that His jurisdiction should be limited to the private life of an individual and from the very point from which the contact of one person with another commences, His jurisdiction should cease and come to an end

Again it passes our understanding completely that if we do not need GOD and His Guidance and direction in our family affairs, in the affairs of our

town and city, in our schools and colleges, in our bazaars and markets, in our parliaments and government houses, in our high courts and secretariat

offices, in our cantonments and police lines, and in our battlefields and peace conferences, then what other sphere of life is left in which He

should be needed at all?

Why should such a GOD be accepted and believed in or worshipped, Who is either so useless that He does not give us any guidance in the affairs of our life or (we seek the refuge of GOD in saying so) that He is so foolish

that none of his directions to regulate our affairs appear to us to be reasonable or practicable?

Due To Change In Individual Level, Lead To Separation Of Devine Realm From The Social Level As Well, I.E. Between

Individuals, Between Society And Individuals, Between State And Society Leading To Secular Government.

Due To Globalization The Concept Of Secularism Is The Dominant Most Ruling

Ideology Of Muslim States, Pakistan Is Thought To Be A Islamic State But Its

Behaviour Is Of A Muslim State Which Is Secular In Its Belief.

The Qur'an describes the MAJORITY of the earth's population“so be not deceived by their

[uninhib i ted] movement throughout the land” [40:4]

"But MOST of the people DO NOT KNOW." [12:21]

"No, but MOST of them DO NOT USE THEIR MINDS." [29:63]

"MOST of the people DO NOT BELIEVE." [40:59]

"They are not EXCEPT like sheep. No, but they are even more astray." [25:44]

The Messenger (sas) has informed us that the correct Deen is like a stranger to the

people when he said: Indeed Islaam began as a stranger and shall return as a

stranger just as it began, so Toobaa (a tree in Paradise) for the strangers.

[Reported by Muslim and Ahmad from Abu Hurairah].
