What is Religion and how is it meant to Operate ?

Image
Religion first of all is about thinking and questioning why we are here on this planet and in this existence. Once we know why we can then choose to live in the appropriate way in accordance with those reasons. The word choose is important cos we have been given free choice (God has given us this). So we can choose not to if we like too. This search for truth starts with is there really a higher power that created us and everything? (The one we call God or Allah or Jehovah etc). If we find that there really is such a power then we can ask about it. What is its nature. Why has it sent our souls here, to this planet and put us in the bodies that we are in. What is the point? And more importantly has there been any communication from it. Depending on what we find we can then go on different routes. If you choose Islam (the fastest growing religion right now and which the media is actively attacking and smearing), then its book (the Quran) says that there is a very good end point for those...

                                                  There seems to be some confusion about how a modern day islamic state will look like amongst the Muslims of today.

The ruler does implement Islam according some madhab that he decides and everyone must accept it. This started when Muawiya forced the ummah to elect his son as the next ruler. Those who opposed this were killed unfortunately but it is strange that Muslims don’t normally object to this as Muawiya seems to be a revered companion.  By forcing rulership he abondoned the sunna of the rightly guided khalifs and again this isssue is not much spoken about despite the hadith of whoever g...
