Sorry again for being late, actually we are in Þaban now and very much close to Ramazan with normaly many things to do at that time of the year so things become abit hectic and time more tight...
What you’ve asked is not a question that i can answer while just passing by TLC to check things , to answer such question it would take time to try to explain things our way/point of view ‘ and it did’ specially that im just a normal simple Muslimah not very educated one in Ãslam and not imam too, but i guess that is what you are asking ... what would a normal person think
So im just representing a regular muslim point of view i believe.
As for the declaration as itself...for us as muslims, its not saying anything new, its just stating what we already know in 1,2,3 way
Maybe it was a way to put things into papers for countries to sign or something and maybe to offer others good understanding about what we believe !
From here i should start by small introduction about our faith that will make it ‘i hope’ more easier for you to understand how we see things.
First, we believe that God a holly divine ....creator, cant be described by the avarage words nor knowledge that we have, HE has no alike so that we can describe, not a man nor a woman.. creator of the all forms that we know and we dont even know too, so by that logic HE is more greater than what ever things HE creat, greater than human so HE cant be one, greater than the sun/ the moon so HE cant be one either...just greater than what ever HE creat, so HE cant be any form less or equal to HÃS creation!
We as human are the highest creation of HÃS creatures, thats why we carry the responsibility of the living... we are akýllý
Since the time ALLAH created Adam..HE was supporting us ‘humans’ giving us the rules that we follow according to our understanding and development too
As a creator its normal and also logical that HE set the rules for us.
Even we as humans do this too in our countries by the goverments which rules those countries, we set the rules .
And we as individuals follow those rules when we live in a country we follow its rules represented in the law, we dont change the constitution of the country according to what everyone of us like, we as a whole just follow them and those rules, law were set by human not God who actually created us and the earth we living on too !
Anyway, that was a side point...
Second, Ãslam is not just a religion in the form of faith... its both faith and constitution of life.
Meaning, Ãn Ãslam we dont just learn that no God but ALLAH and Muhammed SAV is HÃS last messenger.
Ãts not just about praying, zekat, fast, hac and how to form them, its not just about what are the sins that we shouldnt do and what are the goods that we should do...
Ãts also a law, way of life, constitution of the Muslims...for example if we do sin ‘X’ the punishment would be ‘X’ and in order to apply that punishment there are some evidence must be available for the judge or else judge cant apply that punishment and if this happen or that happened it would be ‘y’ not ‘X’ ....etc
So you see every Muslim know that, because as you know our resource of Ãslam are just 2 Qur’an and Sunna ‘Hadith’
Those rules or constitution are in Quran so no muslim would disagree on that...we all know that, we all believe in that
So we already have our rules, our conistitution that we should follow and we know we should follow even at same time not many of us may follow.
As human rights are granted to you by your constitution, also human rights are granted to us by our constitution ‘Quran and Sunna’
Ãts not seperated, its something with in it...in Ãslam everythings are organized, written, same as in any civil constitution you know
Ãts deal with our daily life issues also same as in any law set by human and you accept...its not messing anything.
Because as i explained its not just a faith but also constitution.
So from here, i have explained 2 points of our believe
1. God have no alike...not man, not woman or whatever.
2. Muslims have believe that Quran and Sunna are our constitution .
When we believe in something we dont pick, you dont take what you like and abandon what you dont like...if you do that you would destroy the whole idea from that faith
The core !
You just cant reform what God sent ‘Ãf you believe HE is God and if you truly believe HE sent that’by other that you like except if God HÃMSELF reform it and find a way to tell you about it...and as no angels walk in the streets i would find it hard to be done !
Meaning, Ãf you believe in God and that your religion is sent by HÃM how come you would refuse to follow what this God ordered you ?!
HE is not a friend of yours so you agree or disagree with, HE is God, The creator, if you believe this, then you should follow what HE order, if you disagree, and you dont follow, then you dont believe HE is God and the creator there is no other way around i believe.
Not logic that you would think you know better than God, would it ?!
Ãn that case, if you think you should reform what God said because they are not suitable or something, then i would respect it more and find it more honest and also logical if the you ‘in general term’ say no this faith not suitabe to me, i dont believe in that all together, i have my own believes or whatever .
So as muslims, that is what we believe, we dont disagree and says ‘’ohh yeah because this or that were sent by man or something ’’ because as i explained earlier we dont believe HE sobhanoh is a man.
We have our own rules, and we understand why ALLAH ordered it that way ‘ for those who ask and want to know’
But some of us as individuals apply them and some dont...but even in that case if you discuss with any muslim and said you know you should do this or that...he would say yes, and even if he didnt know, you would be able to open Quran karim and show it to him and he wont be able to say anything about it...except ..ok i know now but i wont apply ‘if he doesnt want to apply’ and in that case its something between him and ALLAH
And as for the system...well, its another story !
PS: Ã use the word ‘believe ‘ but what i mean about it its something deeper than believe as i said we call it Yakin or Akida..but i cant find the equivalent to it in English
