Islam and society

Islam is the chosen religion of Allah the Great for all mankind. Through this whole life, one surrenders himself to the Almighty Allah. Islam ensures the overall security of society. Islam has created a heart-to-heart relationship by eliminating the violence, hatred, strife, etc. of the society. And that is why Islam as the only religion has been able to guarantee human rights, civil rights, justice, rule of law, education and medical accommodation.

Humans are social creatures. So people cannot be alone. People have to be socialized. After Adam (pbuh) was created as the first human being, Eve (pbuh) was also created so that Adam would not have to be alone. Then they were told to stay in Paradise together.

In pre-Islamic times, there was extreme chaos and disaster in Makkah. Humanity, including justice, security, brotherhood, friendship and mutual cooperation, was on the verge of being lost. But Islam came and started reorganizing the society in a new way. In the cool shade of Islam, people become golden people. So no outcast can nurture the basic ideals of Islam. The main requirement of Islam is to live with everyone and live a well-organized life in an organized manner.

It is an innate need of people to live in groups. No one can be alone even if they want to. So human life is really beautiful if there is mutual cooperation and love. There will be different groups and societies among the people. People will live there. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “O mankind! I have created you from male and female, and made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another. The most honorable of you in the sight of Allah is the most God-fearing of you. Aware of all things. '(Surah: Hujrat, verse: 13)

People have to live in harmony with different people in order to survive on earth. In addition to family members, one has to keep in touch with many relatives. So relatives have many rights in life. The rights of close relatives are naturally higher. That is why Allah has instructed them to realize their rights. He said, "And pay the dues of your relatives." (Surah Bani Isra'il, verse 26)
