The chief characteristic of Islam is that it makes no distinction between the spiritual and the secular in life. Its aim is to shape both individual lives as well as society as a whole in ways that will ensure that the Kingdom of God may really be established on earth and that peace,contentment and well being may fill the world. The Islamic way of life is thus base on a unique concept of man’s place in the universe. That is why it is necessary t hat, before we discuss the moral, social, political and economic systems of Islam, we should have a clear idea of what thatconcept is. Basic Principles God, who is the Creator, the Ruler and the Lord of the universe, has created man and provided him with a temporary home in that part of His vast kingdom which is the earth. He has endowed man with the faculties of thinking and understanding, and has given him the power to distinguish right from wrong. Man has also been invested with free will and the power to use the resources of the world however he likes. That is, man has a measure of autonomy, while being at the same time God’s representative on earth. Before assigning to man this vicegerency (Khilafat), God made it clear to him that He all one was the Lord, the Ruler and the Deity. As such, the entire universe and all the creatures in it (including man) should submit to Him alone. Man must not think himself totally free and must realise that this earth is not his permanent abode. He has been created to live on it only for a probationary period and, in due course, he will return to his Lord, to be judged according to the way he has spent that period. The only right course for man is to acknowledge God as the only Lord, the Sustainer and the Deity, and to follow His guidance and His commands in all he does. His sole objective should be to merit the approval of Allah. If man follows a course of righteousness and godliness (which he is free to choose and follow) he will be rewarded in this wo rld and the next: in this world he will live a life of peace and contentment, and in the Hereafter he will qualify for the heaven of eternal bliss, al - Jannah. If he chooses to follow the course of godlessness and evil (which he is equally free to choose and follow), his life will be one of corruption and frustration in this world, and in the life to come he will face the prospect of that abode of pain and misery, which is called Hell. This is a small but very informative paragraph for muslims and Non-muslims that we have to live on this earth and this earth is not our only destiny this place is temporary the actual and permanent is next which is divided into two categories one is jannah which is for the perfect believers of Allah whom lived their life by the guidance of Allah , Quran and Sunnah and the second one is hell ( Dozakh ) which is for the non believers and for those whom believers who were all the time on this earth said that they are muslims but they do not went on the right path which Allah taught us . Hope you guys will read it and after reading it you people will become not all perfect but a little perfect believer of Islam. Asalam u alikum wa rehmat ul llah
