THE HISTORY OF ISLAM
THE HISTORY OF ISLAM"
A glance at world history makes it clear beyond doubt that, in every country of the world and in every age, all the Prophets, reformers, guides and founders of religions had belief in one God, and all of them made all-out efforts to convince their people of the existence of one Elevated Creator. Although Adam, Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses) and Muhammad % lived in ages hundreds and thousands of years far from one another, but their teachings had Oneness of the Creator as the common factor۔
In every era ,there is need a prophet to uproot the signs.In the same way our Beloved Holy prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.W.A) was born in maca . Muhammad rose to remove the mischief of polytheism, darkness of idolatry, pollution of corruption and disruption and defilement of vices and shamelessness, and raising the voice of La ildha Ulalldh, he performed his singular and sacred duty of making men out of men-like people, and men to be men of high morals, and such noble people to be men of God to change darkness into light, righteousness, peace, uprightness and virtue; and carve pure Muslims out of the deviated, idolaters and evil persons.
Muhammad (S.W.A) after being
commissioned as Prophet, remedied the evil; and this embodiment of
the total human qualities, himself led the people of the state and thus
put before the world at large best example of the blend, of Prophethood
and temporal rule at a time. He explained to the human kind the
duties of a king and his realm of power. After him, his foremost
trained and benefited band, i.e., the noble Companions elected the
best among them to rule over them in line with the teachings of the prophet.
Thus, for the first time, broke the satanic spell that heredity could ever play a role in making one a ruler. The choice of Umar Farooq after Abu Bakr Siddiq was governed by the same principle. Although Uthman Ghani was also chosen without any consideration of heredity and lineage, but some individuals and sections of the people had some reservation about it, and Uthman Ghani & himself did some favor to his relatives and the people of his own tribe. Hence, his period was not without trials and tribulations. Thus, it may be safely said that as the Prophet Muhammad presented his example as a Messenger for 23 consecutive years to redeem humanity, so also from 1 to 10 AH, i.e., for about 10 yearn, he put before the world glaring example of righteous rule. And as the 23 years of the Prophet are worth following for mankind, so the Madnian life of the Prophet ft the caliphate of Abu Bakr Siddiq and the caliphate of Umar Farooq put together and spreading over a span of 23 years, are also worthy of being emulated.
At the end of the Righteous Caliphate, human weakness and satanic
swindling once again made hereditary relations necessary
succeeding to the kingdom or rule
