Flashes of the aesthetic of Islam

Islam is the religion of Allah sent down to the seal of his prophets and messengers, Allah accepted us as our religion, a beautiful who loves beauty. Islam itself has always been beautiful and will remain so! All ugliness is not of Islam in anything, nor is it the religion of God, but it is an emergency viewer of the Muslims who did not rise to represent its beauty, similar to the contamination of ignorance and reaction to the bad pit of rigid traditions lagging behind the beauty of Islam.

Islam is beautiful in its belief and conception; it is beautiful because it is a religion of instinct, it is beautiful because it is the religion of reason, and it is beautiful because it is a religion of freedom, since there is no compulsion in it, and because freedom is beautiful. Because the biggest types of ugliness coercion; the most beautiful types of faith was not sincerity and conviction sincere beauty of Islam.

There is no need for Islam to be slaves to the sword of oppression, and awe of the power of power, but it is in need of slaves who believe in God to surrender and love! Compliance with love is the pinnacle of beauty, and submission to the sword or the might of oppression is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

Islam led the believers with the power of persuasion and the interaction of conscience, so he inferred the right which he brought evidence of Jalal and evidence of beauty, and the uniqueness of the Koran using aesthetic evidence, as evidenced in Surat al-Nahl, which can be considered Surat aesthetic reasoning, which is reflected in the aesthetic of the prophetic model and the first generation of believers .

Islam presented itself through a living model in beauty, the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him: a model in the beauty of creation and creation, and a model in the sensuous sense of beauty and education of aesthetic taste, he reigned over his companions hearts, and his family full of personality, even attributed to the companion poet Hassan bin Thabit al-Ansari This meaning, which is the frequency of talk among the companions, where he says:

You have been made clear of all defects, as if you were created as you wish.
Better than you have never seen my eyes ** The most beautiful of you did not give birth to women

The beauty of the Prophet peace be upon him from the full representation of the aesthetic of Islam, Islam requires in creation to be beautiful in order to be full, it is the patience ordered the beautiful patience, and the desertion ordered the beautiful desertion, and the forgiveness is a beautiful pardon.

The Companions, may Allah be pleased with them who realized the beauty of Islam and taste it find hardship or intransigence in the definition of it, because they understood him the right to understand, and tasted taste and felt the beautiful fruits, and the quality of mobile created in their lives, they presented him with the same beautiful image that they realized from their faith and believe in the Messenger of Allah Him.

We can hardly feel the feeling of the beauty of Islam in the famous speech of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, when he went to talk to Nagashi, the King of Abyssinia, saying: "O king, we eat the dead, and we come abhorrent, and cut off the wombs, and the neighborhood, eat the strong of us weak, we were so until God sent Almighty to us a prophet and a messenger of us, we know his lineage, honesty, honesty and chastity.

He called us to God Almighty to unite and worship him, and take off what we and our fathers worshiped without him of stones and idols, and ordered us to honestly talk, and perform honesty, and the link of the uterus, and good neighborliness, and stop incest and blood, and forbidding the abominations and saying falsehood, and eating orphan money and throwing fortified, He commanded us to worship Allah with nothing.

He commanded us to pray, give zakaah and fast, and we believed and believed in him and followed him for what he said. We worshiped God alone and did not share anything with him, and deprived us of what was forbidden to us, and analyzed what came to us, except for our people, they tortured us and fascinated us about our religion, to return us to worship idols from the worship of Allah Almighty. When we conquered and oppressed us, they divided us, and turned us between us and our religion, we went out to your country, and we chose you from among you, and we wished for your neighbor, and we hoped that you would not be wronged, O king.

Najashi said to him: Do you have anything that brought about God? Ja'far said to him: Yes, Najashi said to him: Read Ali, he read him a breast of "Kahais" (Surat Maryam); Nagashi cried even Akhdl beard, and cried bishops even Akhdlhm Koran when they heard what they read. Then Najashi said: This is what Jesus came to get out of one niche, go! God does not surrender them to you and I hardly. "

This is what we find in the answer of the simple Arab Muslim soldier Rubaie bin Amer, who entered the Rustam commander of the Persians; the latter asked him: "What came to you ?!", replied Rubaie bin Amer: "We sent God to get the people from worshiping worshipers to worship the Lord of the servants. , And from the injustice of religions to the justice of Islam, and from the narrow world to the capacity of the world and the Hereafter.

Thus, Islam was introduced to that Arab Bedouin pagan man who was worshiping idols of stone made by his hand, or whoever makes them with his hand, worshiping them at the beginning of the day and then eat them last while starving. Islam came as a religion of freedom and emancipation, and soon moved from the state of nomadism and nature to the messenger of freedom and liberation.

Thus Islam brought about the greatest change in the life of a collective human life was living a life closer to the primitive, and spread a culture of revenge and live a state of tribal fighting, which does not stop, and sees in women a disgrace and considers that it deserves only live infanticide, and if written to live it is only Baggage is sold, bought and inherited, as is the rest of the baggage.

Thus, through the largest collective taming and reworking of the collective mindset within 23 years of revelation, Islam transferred an entire society of a marginal human community, composed of rival tribes and territory under the influence of the Persian Empire and another of the Roman Empire, to a nation in which a human being became pregnant. For the greatest message, and the greatest human rights defender of that time.

Indeed, this man became the maker of its reference, which turned into a universal reference, was the spread of Islam opened the minds and hearts, before it was invaded and sword, where the first century did not pass until Islam spread east to the borders of China and west to the Atlantic. Had it not been for the Muslim conquerors who were not sea riders, they would have brought it beyond the "sea of ​​darkness" (Atlantic Ocean).

Islam would not have settled and converted to the people of the country opened by the Muslims if it was colonialism and injustice and tyranny and arrogance in the land. If it had not opened the minds and hearts of the peoples of the earth at the time, these peoples would not have taken the message themselves to the next of the other peoples, Islam penetrated the cultures and civilizations, races, colors and tongues and reconstituted again, and his relationship with it or its relationship to it was not a relationship of tension or relationship of exile and exclusion.

This resulted in an exquisite and beautiful mosaic and different colors from different cultures, societies, customs and civilizations, under the umbrella of Islam and its unified faith. Therefore, those who claim that Islam is the religion of the Arabs and that its conquests are Arab conquests lie.

The world known then accepted and embraced Islam for its aesthetic belief, the aesthetic law, the aesthetic of dealing with violators, the aesthetic mercy dedicated to the worlds, the aesthetic of truth, the aesthetics of freedom, the aesthetic of justice and equality, the aesthetic of jihad to protect freedom of belief, and the aesthetic liberation of equality between Humans, emancipated their necks and dried the sources of slavery. This is how the world accepted Islam; and anyone who was able to recognize it closely and stand up to its beauty is still inclined to it and to its liberation message.
