Islam An Historical Perspective by Sayyid Abul A’la Mawdudi
ISLAM AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Allah is the Creator and the Sustainer of the Universe and of human beings. Man must turn to him for sustenance and guidance.
The very word Islam means obedience to God. In this respect, Islam is man’s natural religion-the only natural course is for man to look towards Him for guidance.
The day Adam and Eve were sent down to live on earth, Allah told them they were His servants and He was their Master and Creator. He told them and man ki nd that the best course was for them to follow His guidance, to obey His orders and to refrain from what He had forbidden. God said to them that He would reward them. If, however, they did not heed His commands.
He would be displeased and would punish them. This was the simple beginning of Islam.
Adam and Eve invited their children to follow the Islamic way of life. They and their children and their later generations followed the teachings of Islam as propounded by Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) for quite a long period of time.
It was only later on that certain people began disobeying Allah. Some of them began worshipping other gods, while a few others even declared their freedom to do as they pleased – defying God’s orders.
This is how kufir (disbelief) came into being. Its essence lies in refusal to worship God – pursuing the path of defiance to the creator.
