Islamic Commandments Need No Revision

If someone asserts that Islam should be changed according to the modern age as its commandments were particularly meant for the Holy Prophet's peace and blessings be upon him time and are no more in accord with the changed times, and are almost impracticable, it would be a great calumny against Allah Most High and the Holy Apostle peace and blessings be upon him.

For Allah and His Apostle say that this religion has been perfected and made clear, that it will continue till the Last Day and that no other religion than Islam is acceptable. The holy Quran says: -

"Lo! religion with Allah (is) Al-Islam (The Surrender to His Will and guidance). (III: 19)

Similarly: -

"And whoso seeketh a religion other than Al-Islam (the surrender to Allah) It will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter." (III: 85)

For 1400 years it remained practicable and during different periods and different countries people changed themselves and their original ways and manners and yet they lived according to Islam, but now has come the difficulty for the people of this century that they cannot renounce their baser selves and Satan's ways! Should they, therefore, - Allah forbid! - Tamper with Islam and distort it and cast it according to their own wishes? Although The Holy Prophet's peace and blessings be upon him statement, is: - "No person amongst you can be a true believer as long as his/her desire does not become subject to the religion that I have brought."

As an answer to the present mischief the above-mentioned prophetic Hadith is quite sufficient, because in the present-day people, finding it opposed to their carnal desires, are anxious to tamper with Islam itself.
