Faith, Fanaticism and Jihad

A critical look into
those basic elements of Faith reveals the purpose of life of a true
Muslim. The life of a Muslim has a divine accountability. It is balanced
and confined within well-defined moral coordinates set by the Holy
Quran. Any transgression of this balance is a punishable crime in the
eye of Islam.
Emotional recognition
of these elements on the part of a Muslim is just the starting point
towards Faith. But it is the knowledge that strengthens the foundation
of his faith. The very first Verse of the holy Quran (Sura Alaq:
Ayat-1-6) revealed to our holy Prophet (pbuh) was a divine instruction
for acquiring knowledge. The holy Quran from beginning to end and our
holy Prophet (pbuh) all through his life, have stressed on the
importance of acquiring knowledge on the part of Muslims.
