Today the word ‘Muslim’ is being misused even by Muslims. Being a Muslim is conditional, the minimum requirement is to practice or implement the Five Pillars of Islam in their life. So in this regard a person who is born into a Muslim family and has a Muslim name but does not practice the Five Pillars of Islam then that person is not a Muslim. Even if we look at the example above as given in the online dictionary, it states that a Muslim is a follower of Islam. This is technically incorrect as to be a Muslim it is not enough just to follow the religion of Islam. Follow the religion of Islam in what way?
Today there are millions of people who claim to be Muslims but they do not ‘follow’ the religion of Islam. They do not pray, they do not give to charity, they do not fast, they do not go on pilgrimage when they can afford to. They have a ‘Muslim’ name and if you ask them they will tell you they are Muslim. But a Muslim in what way? Just being born into a Muslim family and being known by a Muslim name is not enough.
There are millions of ‘Muslim’ men and women enjoying the kuffar way of life. Drinking alcohol, smoking, partying and even sisters not covering up properly. If a sister takes off her hijab intending never to wear it again then Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala will make ten new converts to put it on. Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala does not need us but we NEED Him. And He tells us in the Glorious Qur’an that if we want enjoyment, wealth and a kuffar way of life He will grant it to us but we will have no share in the Akhira.
So I urge everybody who claims to be a Muslim to know what the meaning of a Muslim is and to fully adopt that lifestyle which is pleasing to God Almighty and to be a true Muslim. Alhamdulila to be a Muslim is not a sacrifice, we have granted so much concession by Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala as He tells us that all the shackles that held the previous nations were untied and that we have been blessed.
What does it take to lead a Muslim life?
