Why do the teachings of beloved Prophet (PBUH) transcend all that we see around us?
Many would disagree with the premise behind the query.
But their objections are merely the manifestation of the sickness of the present times.
Islam does transcend all that we see around us.
When Allah (SWT) chooses some one to draw him towards Him then He (SWT) creates situations where the person is induced to search for the meaning of life.
And when he searches earnestly then he is given a glimpse into the reality behind the facade of this world.
It does not matter that Islam is not the biggest military power today.
It does not matter that that Muslims do not control the power structure of the most powerful nation on the world.
It does not matter that Muslims do not control the finance, business or the economy of the world.
It does not matter that Islam is the most reviled religion today.
Islam transcends the reality around us.
We shall suffice with one evidence.
The most difficult problem to solve in real life is the one society has degenerated in some way.
An example is that of mutual feuds of Arab tribes.
An enmity started by most flimsy cause could drag for centuries.
And beloved Prophet (SAW) did bring that silliness to stand still.
Do we have any other such example?
And that was only one example.
Regeneration of a decayed society is an uphill task. Islam did the miracle.
Other stories of success, mind boggling as they might be, fall much short on the standards set by Islam.
