02-Importance of Deen in Human Life
IN HUMAN LIFE
1. Introduction:
To understand what din is and what is its role in the life of men, we should first of all know its definition.
Religion (deen) is an all-round movement in the light of faith in Allah and a sense of responsibility for the
formation of thought and belief, for the promotion of high principles of human morality for the
establishment of good relations among members of the society and the elimination of every sort of undue
discrimination.
Keeping in view this definition, our need for religion and religious teachings is absolutely clear. To be a little
more elaborate, it may be said that we require religion for the following reasons:
The Islamic concept of Deen is unique in the broadest sense of the word. It is true that genuine Deen must
come from God for the right guidance of man. And it is equally true that human nature and major human
needs are basically the same at all times. Deen play very important role in human life and society. It
provides advice in matters concerning Islamic jurisprudence.in short it is complete code of life which
provides guidance in all human situations. It should be borne in mind that Deen was taught by Prophet
Muhammad alone. On the contrary, Deen had been taught by all the prophets before Muhammad, and the
true followers of Abraham and Moses as well as those of Jesus and the rest were all called Muslims. So
Deen has been, and will continue to be, the true universal religion of God, because God is One and
Changeless, and because human nature and major human needs are fundamentally the same,
irrespective of time and place, of race and age, and of any other considerations.
