Islam And the World - Urdu Book

انسانی دنیا پر مسلمانو کی عروج و نورال كااثر

نور اللہ مرقدة مفکر اسلام مولانا سید ابوالحسن علی ندوی

اصل میں عربی میں لکھا گیا، یہ بصیرت انگیز تصنیف اسلام کے تاریخی کردار اور انسانی ترقی پر اس کے گہرے اثرات کے لازوال اور سمجھدار امتحان کے طور پر کھڑی ہے۔ یہ اس کے زوال کے ساتھ انسانیت کو ہونے والے اہم نقصان کی نشاندہی کرتا ہے، مؤثر طریقے سے اس مروجہ تصور کا مقابلہ کرتا ہے کہ اسلام نے اپنی مطابقت اور افادیت کو ختم کر دیا ہے۔ مصنف نے زبردستی اسلام کی پائیدار زندگی کی وکالت کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ یہ ہمیشہ سے متحرک زندگی کا فریم ورک ہے جو کبھی متروک نہیں ہو سکتا۔ یہ فکری طور پر حوصلہ افزا شاہکار اسلامی اور دیگر تہذیبوں کے محرکات، مواقع اور نتائج کے بارے میں نئے زاویے سے روشنی ڈالتا ہے، دونوں لحاظ سے انسانیت کی مادی فلاح اور روحانی ارتقاء۔

Assignment - 3 Islam and the world

The Islamic View of Life

Islam alone, of all religions, embraces life in all its aspects. It does not stand as a barrier between man his legitimate desire for a full life. It does not regard man's earthly existence as a collection of gloomy sorrows or a punishment for some original or inherited sin. At the same time, it does not look upon this life as a fleeting opportunity for material satisfaction or a place for sensuous delight. Islam proclaims life to be a Divine gift so that man may attain nearness to God and attain perfection by making full use of the possibilities of his body and spirit.
