ISLAM is the religion that emphases on the overall human life. It covers all aspects of the physical body, the soul or the spirit, the emotion and the intellect. The Almighty Allah has stated that, True believers those who, if we give them power in the land, establish regular prayer and give zakat, enjoin the right and forbid wrong. That So, we can highlight from these directives of the holy Quran that the religious responsibilities of the Muslim rulers are that they protect the Divine bounds; defend the religion and invite the people to Allah by means of argument and good advice. A ruler is a trustee of the people and vicegerent of Allah. The ruler of a Muslim state has, among other things, to enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. What could be right and wrong has been clearly identified in the Quran and sunnah. Some of the acts and behaviors identified which can be promoted more appropriately through positive measures like counselling, motivation, preaching, guidance, creation of appropriate environment, and other similar measures. The most effective of these measures could, however, be what is called exemplifying. It would mean that the ruler should do himself what is right and refrain from doing what is wrong and thereby set an example. Leading by exemplifying has deep psychological and substantial effect on others to follow and emulate. Therefore, the Seerah of the prophet PBUH is the best source for us in this regard. However, it encompasses the efforts made to develop human-being or individual who is pure of heart, pure in mind and pure in deeds where he can function as a member of society, who is civilized and has a high self-esteem. An individual’s awareness towards one’s responsibilities and a high self-esteem can bring for a peaceful and harmonious nation. Thus, the establishment of the Islamic society base on the voice of development together with material values and humanity. Because of which, the role of leaders of Islamic society must be proactive in plotting the path of educational system of the nation based on piety and faith. As for the obligations of ruler in the light of Seerah, I shall refer to the principles which Al-Mawridi r.a has discussed: The preservation of the Faith, true to its origin and in keeping with the consensus of those who participated in the founding of the Ummah, Defense of the Realm. He must carry out the Hadd punishments to ensure the limits prescribed by Allah and so that the rights of general public shall be protected. The other responsibilities are implementation of the principles of Islamic Law, governing disputes, The active propagation of the Faith, The collection of various taxes required by the Shariah, The provision of financial assistance and the assessment of claims against the Treasury, To be solicitous of the public confidence, and to consider fully the council of his advisors in their areas of responsibility, To actively oversee all aspects of government, and to keep himself well and widely informed. This paper thus discusses on the responsibilities of a ruler from the Seerah perspective.
This article is enough to open the eyes that how the West's environment has become so disturbing. Their own statistics indicate that they were so concerned about the sexual transmitted diseases (STDs) and the pregnancy of young girls that they had no other way but to teach sex education in their schools and colleges as part of the curriculum. Since the West believe in the separation of the Church and the State, therefore the Western society has separated the religion from the matters of their daily life. As a result, like other problems, sexual intolerant behavior also increased, but they were able to reduce sexual transmitted deseases to some extent through the sex education. In this context, it was necessary to examine and understand the Western point of view about this education programme for their children. In this article, we will summarize the various long-standing articles on sex education in the west and through this we will elaburate the researches of these articles and causes or motives, consequences and the reasons for the inclusion of this education in the children’s curriculum in the west.
Almighty Allah had bestowed upon his Prophet (PBUH) the best companions who spread all over the world by sacrificing their comfort, home and wealth for the propagation of true faith and religion. The Companions, (may Allah be pleased with them), have been chosen by Allah Almighty for the companionship of His Prophet and been set an example for whole Ummah, because of them getting benefit directly from the light of Prophethood. The work of writing the biography of the Companions in the style of da'wah is of great importance, and effective for practical application also. Obtaining guidance from their biographies can save the Ummah from going astray, and it has been emphasized to follow them. Now these events need to be repeated again and again for the nourishment of the heart and mind, the movement of emotions, the passion for life and wealth, and the virtues of migration and Nuṣrah, so that one may realize his lack of faith and be guided to make true deeds. In this article, we shall try to understand the preaching of true faith, the method and character of the Companions and the Salaf-i-Ṣalihīn in the scenario of the present age. This article will discuss the components and importance of preaching, the attributes of the preacher in the light of the Qurān, Sunnah and biographies of the Companions. Then its practical application to the present age will be compared and conclusion will be drawn.
