They Will Not Cease to Differ
May24 2011 Arabic
The goal of all the political and social laws in Shari'at (Islamic Divine Law) is to allow the people to live together a good life under the flag of Islam. The Shari’at maintains both: the unity of the Ummah (the nation) and the diversity of its subjects. All materialist ideologies, however, whether it's democratic, socialist or whatever you want to call it, with its lack of spirituality and the absence of the Divine, can never give meaning, value or perspective to the diversity of humanity; and therefore the spread of political unrest and social chaos everywhere. Mawlana in his unique and exquisite way explains it all with an amazing reference to the Holy verse, "They Will Not Cease to Differ - ولا يزالون مختلفين".
