Without
it activity does not take place. Insects and worms, birds and
other animals remain busy and active in search of food and in
order to protect themselves for cold and heat. In order to keep
human body active these very things in reality work as stimulant.
But the aims and desire of human beings do not end here. He has
many other desires which animals do not posses. By nature man
is not content with peace and pleasure of any degree. He always
tries to go from better to best and from best to highest condition
of life. This very desire keeps him active throughout his life
which moves him higher and higher in his social life. the human
society which being content remains inactive is called backward.
His desire to improve and go ahead has brought him to this position
of social uplift and God only knows where he will end or it may
be that he does not rest till the day to resurrection. Besides
eating and drinking, clothing and housing man has one natural
desire, that is, he wants to know his real self. He wants to know
what was he before he was born? What are matter and soul? What
is death? Where we have to go after death? Is there any creator
of this world? etc., etc. Those nations who ponder over these
replies and are active; they get new life because so far the question
of bread, cloth and house is concerned man can achieve them with
a little efforts and he may not be required to go on struggling.
But so far the question of satisfaction regarding origin and resurrection
is concerned, the search can never end and he can remain ever
active. This is the reason why Mulims have been ordered for both.
The Holy Quran says: “Spread out in the world and search
your sustenance?. It is said: “Do not rest till you take
your share of the world”. Allah says that you pray to me
like this; “ O my Lord, give me the blessing of both the
worlds”. In order to get to know the origin and resurrection
in the Holy Quran there are hundreds of indication which command
to ponder over His signs. Hence it has been said at one place:
“Travel in the world and find out how creation originated”.
Apparently it seems to be an ordinary that and a very small verse
but in order to find out the answer to this very question many
kinds of learning came into existence such as geology, botany,
zoology, physiology, geography, history, medicine, astronomy,
physics and chemistry etc. And these are the knowledge which when
acquired by a nation makes it recipients of every kind of blessings
of Allah. The reason behind the acquisition of this knowledge
is that as there is no end to it hence man will go on struggling
and making efforts in its search and will continue to prosper.
In order to keep Muslims busy throughout, in the Quran Allah says;
“Act and Act”. The struggle for life, prayers, fast,
pilgrimage to Makkah, alms, struggle for the propagation of Islam
and preaching of Islam, and pondering over the verses of Allah
are for what purpose if not to keep Muslims busy and active? But
it is tragedy that more the stress has been given or Action in
the Holy Quran, we are more indolent, idle and inactive.
In fine these are the five principle which makes the body, soul,
heart, mind and senses of society which lead to it organization
strength. Apparently the group of people who will stick to these
five principles more and more will be stronger and powerful. But
these five principles only are not sufficient for any society.
Human life has other aspects too. And every man has his many sided
responsibilities such as at one time the same man is the father
as well as son, brother as well nephew and uncle and he is also
the husband. He is also servant as well as master. He is a sub-ordinate
as well as officer. He is a grocer as well as purchaser. He is
zamindara and also a cultivator etc., etc. Hence there is the
need to fulfilling these many sided duties which has to be regulated
by law an codes which are obeyed and acted upon by every member
of the society so that it can maintain its unity of action in
order to avoid any friction in the combined strength so the society.
Hence Muslims have a guide line and perfect code of life which
is called the Holy Quran.
