ISLAM IS A COMPLETE CODE OF LIFE

Islam is a complete code of life

Islam is a complete code of life. This is an oft-quoted sentence but when most people utter this sentence, they are ignorant of the meanings of this sentence. By Allah! An ordinary man may deliver these words but is unable to explain it. He is aware of this thing that Islam is a complete code of life but he is unaware of how Islam is a complete code of life. He repeats the statement of his ancestors but do not focus on the verse of Quran,
24 Do they then ponder not over Quran, or there are locks on the hearts of some of them?

Undoubtedly, Islam is a complete code of life but this topic needs a good explanation that cannot be completed in one episode. I am only writing the summary of this topic. Allah, the Almighty, said in Quran,
Today I have perfected your Din (Religion) for you, and have completed My Blessing upon you, and have chosen for you Islam (as) Din (a complete code of life).

Anything gets perfectness and accomplishment only when it includes everything and it is pure from every defect and second way should not be searched for anything. This claim today the religion has been completed is not of an ordinary book but it is of the Holy Quran about which Allah, the Almighty, said in Holy Quran,
79 Which none shall touch but those who are clean.

That means no devilish power can touch this book or the words of it because only pure persons can touch it. And at another place, Allah, the Almighty, said,
No doubt, We have sent down this Quran, and We most surely are its Guardian.

So, this claim is not of any Satan or Satanic mind (I seek refuge of Allah from this). Now we have to see that is Islam really a complete code of life or not? Do Islam focus on every aspect of life and give its solution or not?

ISLAM IS A COMPLETE CODE OF LIFE

If we turn the leaves of history and study the lives of the Prophets of children of Israel, this thing is crystal clear that every religion has ignored some aspects of life. Every religion presented the teachings according to the needs of the time. Even today, that quote of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, is present in the Holy Bible, in which he told about this matter to the world. He, peace be upon him, said,
Matthew 5:17-18 ASV (17) Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. (18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.

And at another place, he, peace be upon him, said that now, you cannot bear but when the Last Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny, will come, he will inform you about all the truth.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you. And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come. (John 16:7-13 ASV)

Same way, this prophecy is mentioned in the Holy Quran,

(And also recall the time) when Isa son of Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) said: O Children of Israel, indeed I am (a Messenger) sent to you by Allah, confirming the Torah, the Book which came before me, and bearing the good news of (the pleasant arrival) of (the Esteemed) Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad (now in the heavens). But when he (the Last of the Messengers) came to them with clear Signs, they said: This is open magic.

So, until the era of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, the Law of Moses, peace be upon him, was incomplete and every Prophet comes and gives the teachings according to his time, that are limited for specific era. Moreover, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, was also not able to explain every aspect of life and left this task on Islam. Allah, the Almighty said in the Quran,
In truth in (the holy being of) Allahs Messenger [blessings and peace be upon him] there is for you a most perfect and beautiful model (of life)

ISLAM IS A COMPLETE CODE OF LIFE

And Hazrat Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, said, The moral code of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) was Quran. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 1733) (Sunan Abu Dawood, Hadith No. 1329) (Sunan an-NisaI, Hadith No. 1604)

Quran includes the summary or details of every account. The shadow of Quran is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him and his progeny). The collection of these two things is called Islam. If we search in Islam, how to treat the poor, we can have the written script as well as the model of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny) like a video tape. Islam have decided the rules for everything and said that these are the limits of Allah, do not cross them. If you will do so, then,
Allah in the name of the Most Affectionate, the Merciful. 1. By the time of the beloved (Prophet). 2. Undoubtedly, man is necessarily in loss. 3. But those who believed and did good deeds and stressed one another to accept truth and counseled one another to be steadfast.

Islam taught youngers to obey elders and elders to love youngers. It explained the Rights of Children to parents and taught the Rights of Parents to children. It divided woman in four different stages by giving her that excellent status that it divided women in four different classes. It extended her holiness to such extent that it declared wrong sights on woman to be a sin. It gave such rights to woman that she can live an honoured life in society. It told the Rights of Husband to a wife and Rights of Wife to a husband. It taught the manners to live in house. It taught the manners to run house. Azwaaj-e-Mutahharaat (the pure ones, the wives of Holy Prophet Muhammad )and Sayyida Khatoon-e-Jannat (the leader of the women of Heaven, the daughter of Holy Prophet ,Sayyida Fatima, peace of Allah be upon her) had lived an excellent life and taught women to live like this. Allama Iqbal said,
Batool (title of Sayyida Fatima s.a) was a result of the field of salutations, Batool (s.a) was a role model for mothers, That manner was brought up under patience and submission, Her lips used to recite Quran while grinding flour.

ISLAM IS A COMPLETE CODE OF LIFE

Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny) became a role model for men. He taught that how an orphan should live a patient life. He lived his childhood as an orphan. He spent his life as poor. He also managed business and trade. One of the richest women of Arab, Sayyida Khadija-tul-Kubra (May peace of Allah be upon her) was impressed by his excellent rules (of trade) and married him. He presented a role model for oppressed ones by bearing the persecutions of Quraish. He earned the titles of al-Sadiq (Truthful) and al-Amin (Trustworthy) and presented a role model for a normal person. Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny) showed a way to a ruler when he migrated to Madina and handled the government. He showed a way to a farmer by farming the land. He taught the rules of humanity to a general, colonel, solider and commander-in-chief by participating in wars. He presented such a role model for a judge and judged such precisely that, at last, non-Muslims and people of Book also presented their cases to him. When he captured the prisoners of war, he treated them with such kindness that it opened the eyes of a general and told him to not persecute the prisoners. Although, he was Ummi (who is not a student of any man) but he taught such lessons to the Ummah (nation) that he created love among them. This was the same Arab who used to fight for centuries, just that my sheep will drink water first. Moreover, Sahaba Karam (companions of Holy Prophet ,)May Allah be pleased with them, taught the manners for master and spiritual leader to a servant and spiritual follower. Hazrat Ali, may Allahs blessing be upon his blessed face, completed the boundaries of humbleness by stating I am a servant of servants of Muhammad .Hazrat Abu Bakr, May Allah be pleased with him, sacrificed his households and said Allah and His Messenger is sufficient. Allama Iqbal said, I said, Love of Hazrat Bilal from Ethiopia, May Allah be pleased with him, was also the extremes of slavery. I said,

ISLAM IS A COMPLETE CODE OF LIFE

On one hand, if Hazrat Bilal from Ethiopia, May Allah be pleased with him, suffered stones (on chest) and horsewhips (by pagans) at hot deserts and still told that the name of the Real Master (God) is true and we should only call His name even on the cost of life, on the other hand, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny) ordered Hazrat Bilal to say Azan (Call for prayer) from the top of Holy Kabah. Firstly, he taught to love servants, secondly, by lowering Quraishites from an Ethiopian he taught equality that neither a white is superior to black nor the black is superior to white and neither an Arabian is superior to non-Arabian nor a non-Arabian is superior to Arabian but on the bases of piety. Islam had declared all those things Haram (prohibited) which are harmful for health and heart and allowed and purified those things which are useful by saying Halalan Tabbiyan. Islam had set such rules that doubt of going astray had been removed. For example, prostration is prohibited if it is without the Will of Allah. Old nations used to prostrate, but in Islam, prostration to other than Allah had been prohibited so that the doubt, that old nations had, should also be finished completely. For further details, see the article of my spiritual leader Pir Syed Muhammad Mubarak Ali Gillani Misaaq an-Nabiyyeen, eighth episode (monthly Sohney Mehraban, month of Ziqad 1431 A.H). Islam prohibited alcohol and today science also says that alcohol, and usage of drugs, is harmful. A poet said, The bases of Islam was laid down on five things and all those five things are helpful for physical and spiritual health. When Sajjada Nasheen of Darbar-e-Aaliya Qadriya Mundair Sharif Syedan, Syed Muhammad Mubarak Ali Gilani, use to take oath (of repentance) from any person, he use to advise him, following his ancestors, that to pray five times a day regularly and to read first Kalima, at least hundred times a day. Also recite Durood Sharif with regularity. Islam have declared cleanliness as half of the religion. Hazrat Abu Musa al-Ashari narrates that Messenger of Allah said:
Cleanliness is half of the religion.

(It was recorded by Imam Muslim, Imam Ahmad, al-Tirmidi, al-Darmi, al-Nisai in amal al-yaum wa al-layla, Ibn-e-Majah, Behaqi in his Sunan, al-Tabrani, Ibn-e-Habban and Ibn-eMundarah in Kitab al-Iman). Islam finished adultery from the society, by giving the permission of four marriages to men. Islam set such punishments that a person restrains from that act after listening the punishments. If the laws of Islam are issued in our country, as they are, might be these crimes would eliminate from our nation and will not occur again. Qurans challenge that it includes every dry and every wet is not just a challenge but a visible fact like sun. Islam taught the manners of eating, drinking, standing, sitting, sleeping, waking, saying Salam (peace be upon you as a greeting), entering home, wearing clothes, combing, brushing, talking, in fact of everything. It taught the Rights of Neighbours, taught the manners of market, taught the manners of buying and selling and taught in such a details that at least one book was compiled on each topic. And see the vastness of Quran that all the topics were placed at one place, in one book, and a religion of Islam was presented, which is a complete code of life and complete and best religion.
