THE BENEFIT AND THE APPLICABILITY OF ISLAMICS
P. Nasarudheen
ISLAMICS can be defined as the study on the life of creatures on the earth based on sociological, economic, political and spiritual concepts proposed by the holy Qur’an and sound Hadiths justifiable to Qur’an verses. The scope of it is as vide as the human activities especially Economics, Politics and Ethics. Ethics is based on Spirituality. According to the holy Qur’an man is created to be the Khaliph on the Earth; woman as his mate.Both of them shall lead a life by mutual help and solidarity and bring up children properly as worship to the only God: Allah. Family is the smallest unit in social life and families make larger society. To satisfy their wants and needs, in the past as of now economic planning became necessary.Hunting, fishing and agriculture developed. Fertile soil was and is an attraction where resources and raw materials were/are ample. To occupy such areas tribes and nomadic groups used their forces that led to wars. These wars led to insecurity in society. So, to ensure security, people organized themselves and elected their leaders to whom they pledged obedience. Medina Agreement/Charter signed by the people of Medina and Prophet Muhammad (pbh) is the best example of it. Magna Carta signed in England is another example from history. Thus Polity stirred political thoughts that theoretically suggested many possibilities to lead a happy life. Man has two kinds of existence: one of the body and the other of the soul. So far soul, the force, is in the body he or she is alive. When the soul or spirit or otherwise known as the bio-magnetic energy or vitality leaves the body, the body is called a dead body. Therefore, we have physical and spiritual needs and wants. Islam proposes ways to satisfy these needs. In the present world of social turbulence the need of the study on these suggestions of Islam is very much desirable. Here, I would like to delineate an outline and scope and benefit of study on Islamics.. Only sense translation is made to Qur’an verses in this article.
