The Ideal society of Islam is called umma. Umma includes different aspects like different culture and languages,different races and tribes. umma inspires dynamic and committed ideological social version.
the word umma derives from the root amm,which has the sense of intention and path. Therefore the umma is a society in which a number of individuals have got common faith and goal, come together in harmony with the intention of advancing and moving toward their common goal.
while other words for societies express the unity under blood and soil and they share the material benefit as the criterion of Society .
The basis of the Islamic social philosophy is the intellectual responsibility and shared movement towards a common goal regardless of blood and soil or materialistic benefits, Although the infrastructure of the umma is the economy because " whoever has no worldly life has no spiritual life."
Islamic social system is based on equity and justice and ownership by the people, which is the revival of the "system of Abel," the society of human equality and therefore the classless brotherhood. Islamic brotherhood is not like western social system which has kept the western bourgeoisie.
The political philosophy of Umma and the form of the regime of umma is not the democracy of heads, not irresponsible and the directionless liberalism which is a tool in hands of social forces, It is not rotten aristocracy , not anti-popular dictatorship, not a self -imposed oligarchy ,
It consists rather of the purity in leadership [not the leader,for that would be fascism], committed and revolutionary leadership.
Islamic regim of ummah is responsible for the movement and growth of the society towards the divine destiny of man .
Now my dear reader don't you think such leadership is the true meaning of IMAMATE??!!!
Yes,in my opinion, it is the true meaning of Imamate!(leadership of umma)
Please think about it and leave your comment ...what do you think of Islamic umma and the leadership?
Allow me to be first one to post comments....yes that would be close to Imamate..which is not to be found yet in most of Muslim socities.
ReplyDeleteWe are hurting each other in the name who practices Islam in better way.
We dont have tolerance towards each other..divided we stand in front of the world..and this all stems from not having good leaders among ourselves who can unite us in the path of Allah.
Majority of people are like a flock, they move in the direction their leader wants to and since we dont have good leaders among ourselves..the Ummah lies in ruins.
Been said that I would also like to mention, its absolutely not Islamic to wait for some one to correct us, but its an obligation on every Muslim to strive in the way of Allah..and the first thing every Muslim can do is dont look for that able leader who can unite Ummah but be that leader him/herself.
Sister Khalida,
ReplyDeleteyou'r most welcome , I always enjoy reading your comments whether here or somewhere else,
I am glad that we have the same ideology referring the topic,
My dearest sister, Allah SWT has promised that His righteous slaves will inherit the earth, therefore we shouldn't sit idle doing nothing crying and praying only, Muslim is Muslim when he puts his beliefs into practice ...our action matters not our mere words
To Allah belongs the might and to his messenger and the believers,......

ReplyDeleteGood posts regarding ideal ummah and imamate.
ReplyDeleteBut I would like you go in details regarding Imamate. Like what exactly we mean by Imamate and how it can be established?
Do it quoting from Quran and ahadis. I'm sure you can do it.
