Praise be to Allaah.........there are no weak points in Islam
As you know Muslims are facing many challenges, pressures and
criticisms from non-Muslims in the world.
In light of this atmosphere, should we Muslim not be the most open and
honest about our shortcomings and try to tackle them as opposed to
being overly defensive and seeming to make excuses or cover our
faults? The reason for this question is that if we seem to deny or
gloss over obvious shortcomings it will not help us to overcome them.
Perhaps some Muslims feel that to deal with our problems openly will
assist the anti-Muslims in their attacks on Islam.
Firstly:
There are no weak points in Islam - praise be to Allaah - that the
Muslim needs to worry about. Islam is the perfect religion of Allaah,
and Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in
justice"
[al-An'aam 6:115]
One of the scholars said that this means, it tells the truth in its
re****ts and is just in its rulings.
Allaah has blessed us by completing His religion and perfecting the
blessing, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
"This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour
upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion"
[al-Maa'idah 5:3]
If an Islamic ruling seems to a person to be a weak point, he should
realize that the fault lies in his way of thinking, because some of
the rulings of sharee'ah that are absolutely wise and just may appear
otherwise to some people, either because of their whims and desires,
or because it goes against what people are used to in their lives,
that goes against sharee'ah.
