Islam teaches us the oneness of Allah. An equation of Allah is considered as bigest sin. Allah is one. Allah can not be divided into personalities. Allah has no equal, no wife, no children, no match, no parent, and there is nothing which equals Him.
He is the first, the eternal last. He is creator. In short, He is the Allah is the creator of the messengers, angels, souls, trees, stones, and all things in the universe. Therefore, as muslims, do not worship Al Masih. Do not worship angels. Do not worship tree. Do not worship anything save Allah.
In this univerese there is none worthy of worship except Allah. Allah alone has to be worshipped and to Allah alone ask for forgiveness and assistance.
In this regard Allah says in Surah the Opening as follows , It's meaning :
He is not the one who can speak fluently Arabic language called muslim. He is not the one who wears the cap and the sarung called muslims. He is not the one who abstains from eating pork, called muslims. But a muslims is the one who proclaims the principle that there is absolutely no God other than Allah the only one, who has no partner, and Muhammad his servant and messenger.
A muslim is a one who estabhlishes the five times daily prayers, give legal alms namely zakat, keep the fast, goes for pilgrimage to Mecca if one is able to do so. Otherwise, hi has to talk and do truth however, whenever, and whereever hi is, thought it bitter to do. A Muslim is the one who is happy to see other in happiness, especially if that other is happy because of himself.
He regrets to see other in trouble, in especially, if the trouble is caused by himself, in enplaning this respect the holy Qur'an stated :
It's meaning :
" Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and those with him are hard against. The disbelievers and merciful among them selves. Thou see them bowing and falling prostrate ( in worship ) seeking bounty of Allah and his pleasure" ( Al Fath : 29 )
It must be well understood, that Islam is not simply the religion of faith which is colored by asceticism i.e. doing for the sake of here after. Islam is not merely worshiping in the mosque. Islam is not simply prayer, fasting, almsgiving and pilgrimage, but Islam is covering all aspect of human life, what ever we do to improve our worldly life meaning for the sake of God's pleaser is worship in Islam. Islam enjoins active life and reactive social activities and not isolation from the society or communion with God alone. Islam obliges to seek a portion of the hereafter and not to neglect a portion of the world.
The holy Qur'an states as follows : It's meaning : " But seek the abode of he hereafter in that which Allah have given thee and neglect not your portion of the world, and be kind even as Allah have been kind to thee, and seek not corruption in the erath, lo ! Allah loved not corrupters." ( Al Qashas ; 88 )
Our prophet Muhammad said : It's meaning : " Conduct yourself in this world as if you have to stay here forever, prepare for the beyond as if you love to die tomorrow."
So He is not muslim who merely lives a life of seclusion and contemplation. He is not a true muslim who only meditates in the mosque seeking Allah's and his mercy. On the contrary, He is not a muslim who merely hunts property without remember once of his religious obligation. He is not true muslim who only gathers wealth of world an only arrangers it but looses his God. And His not true muslim whose life is for the sake of worldly affairs.
Your duty now is to show your Islamic identity though you live in non muslim country, you have to show your Islamic identity although you work amongst society. Have no fear to say : I am a muslim, have no fear to say : I am a muslim, how ever much the idolaters may be averse, however much idolaters may be averse, however much the hypocrites may be averse.
