Of all the favours of Allah I that we are given, time is probably the one

that is least appreciated, the one that least significance is given to, and

grants us to worship, work, rest and recreate; how much of it are we

actually giving back to Allah I, as an expression of our gratitude

towards Him.

Allah I said in the Holy Qur’an:

There is only one origin to Whom, equally, all must return. Life thus

becomes a journey, and its measure of happiness and success is the

closeness or distance to our Creator. Rather than a religion, Islam is a way

of life with its guidance charting the coordinates of the map by which the

We perceive life through our senses and experience. As such we live in

the moment, but the intellect bestowed upon us compels us to link

together events, search out the past, and project the future. We know

ourselves to be mortal: we have not always been around and are sure

to die. Yet something inside us refuses the notion that we are just a

temporary blip in the vastness of time.

Darwin’s theory of evolution gained currency in Europe because it

helped justify colonial expansion and exploitation. It replaced the

answerability of mankind to the higher authority of God with the

notion of natural selection, which was free of moral constraints, and

the idea of the survival of the fittest justified the use of force in

subjugating so-called primitive civilisations. Darwin’s highly flawed

and speculative theory became the myth of our time, a secular variety

of religious dogma to explain away all the mysteries of life. The

mathematics of chance does not permit the development of higher life

forms by random mutation processes in the time space available. As

original creation is not a repeatable event, the theory can never be

empirically proven and cannot lay any claim to greater scientific

validity than the creationist explanations of how life on earth first

started. We start our exploration of Islam’s outlook on life with its

account of creation, because this contains the basic moral principles

According to the Qur’an, the revelation communicated through the

prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), God created the heavens

(multiple universes) and the earth with a purpose and allocated the

representative on earth’, they said, ‘Are you going to place

Qur’an, Surah 2 – Al-Baqarah – ayah 30-33.

The key difference between the knowledge given to the angels and

that given to man is that the angels only know what they have been

taught, whereas Adam (peace be upon him) was taught all the names,

in other words, he was given the power of creative thought and

Islamic tradition states that the fear of God is the crown of all

knowledge. Just as a chair knows nothing about the carpenter, we are

“llah” can be put in the plural or change gender; there can be gods and

goddesses. Allah, on the other hand, is unique; He has no equal and

Whereas we need no intercessors to present our prayers to Allah, who

is All-Hearing, He is not of this world and does not speak to us directly.

Instead of approaching each of His creatures individually with a

personalised message, He has chosen messengers of impeccable

character to bring His universal message to all of us. The task of these

messengers was both to bring the message and to guide by personal

example. They would always practice what they preached. In English,

the term prophet is frequently used to describe these people, as part of

their job was to warn of the consequences of non-compliance with the

instructions of Allah, and this telling of future events or prophecies

became a key characteristic in the perception of people. Whilst the

messengers were given insights not usually available to other people

and were often given miracles in support of their authenticity, it is

important to understand that they were not superhuman. If Allah

wanted to equip them in this way, He could have sent angels, but for

the messengers to be followed, their life example had to be

comprehendible; they had to be like everybody else in many respects,

so that all who encountered their message would feel that they had the

capability of trying to walk in their footsteps. For this reason,

messengers were always chosen from amongst their own people,

speaking their own language.

Since the days of Adam (peace be upon him), the universal content of

the message itself remained unchanged: that there is only one God,

(peace be with them all).

Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born in Makkah in Arabia in 570

as an orphan, for his father Abdullah died several weeks before his

Makkah, Muhammad (peace be upon him) often retreated to a cave in

mount Hira outside the town, and it was there, at the age of 40, that he

The Qur’an is no ordinary book of fact or fiction. It is a living

communication to humankind by our Creator, intended as a guidance

– was sent to as a messenger, but the original language of mankind.

Because the Qur’an, once revealed, codified the Arabic language, it has

remained virtually unchanged, and the classical Arabic of the Qur’an is

still easy to comprehend for a speaker of modern Arabic. Furthermore,

The key to Islam’s success in this world is that it aims at the next. This

long-term view prevents the adherents of Islam to get caught up in the

meaningless nitty-gritty of everyday life, setting their aims high and

Islam’s teaching reminds us that we cannot repay Allah for His favours,

but we can share them with others whenever they are in need of them.

Qur’an calls its own message a reminder. It reminds us of the bliss of

paradise which we had to leave in order to exist on earth. It reminds us

that no soul is burdened beyond its capacity. Some die in early

childhood to save them from what they could not have handled. Life is

like an examination room where people enter at different levels. Those

who sit the advanced papers might have to stay on longer, and

certainly their tasks are more difficult. In the end, as long as we try our

best, we will get a mark. On the other hand, if we deny that there is a

test and waste our time off-task, we will not be graded. Imagine a car

exhibition; it would be boring if all the cars on show would be the same

latest model. There will be small and large, fast and slow, luxurious and

basic cars in a good exhibition, and a superb car is only recognised as

such in comparison to a lesser, or different
